Photos from second visit to EAA Museum. Spring 2002.
These images were taken with a Sony digital camera. I found that the ambient
light produced good results but in some cases I shot the same thing with both
ambient and flash to highlight certain features.
special thanks to the museum for permitting me to get very close to the
aircraft
