Vintage airplanes best photographed in monochrome, says digital aviation magazine

While color photography can bring out the best in an antique airplane, Airplanista Magazine recently conducted a monochrome (black and white) shoot of a collection of vintage airplanes and the results are stunning.
 
Aug. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- The August, 2011 issue of Airplanista Magazine presents an experiment in black and white photography conducted at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) annual AirVenture Air Show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

"This show is billed as the world’s largest aviation celebration,” said Airplanista Editor/Publisher Dan Pimentel. “and it always draws a stellar collection of beautifully-restored vintage airplanes. I wanted to try and shot these flying museum pieces in monochrome only, and see if the resulting images could resemble the vintage photos of these planes shot when they were brand new in the 1920s through 1940s."

The images show exquisite detail of antique Stearman biplanes, Beech Staggerwings, and very old monoplanes. Many of the images in this black and white spread focus on the intricacies and details of the radial engines found on the airplanes.
