Veteran project - group 2
Feb 9, 2017 18:38:11 #
Had three more come in for their session this past week. All three are from the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association - Denver Chapter.
The one gentleman is holding a model of the Hughes OH-6A, the observation helicopter that went into service in 1967. Army's designation of Light Observation Helicopter or LOH, got it the nickname "Loach." Much like Huey, that was really the Iroquois, got the
Huey from the initial designation HU-1 (later changed to UH-1(A,B,C, M.....). He also brought alone his display of awards.
Same light setup as the previous post. This background is custom painted for me for this project by David Maheu.

Cliff,
I like the first color one the best. Lighting in all of them seems good. I also like the clear glasses and no reflection in the first image. The backdrop is quite good and very fitting! I have a son who is in Aviation in the Army and flies Blackhawks out of a post in Germany. He claims it is very dangerous to fly helicopters in many cases, much more so than fixed wing aircraft which you are very familiar with. He says they never fly over the Alps and always route around them since that is very dangerous in a chopper.
Best Regards,
Tom

All really well done! I prefer the color version best, but that is just a personal opinion of course.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to all. Yes, on the web the color versions look good. But on prints, the monochrome versions are spectacular. It does not show well here, but I add a slight warm tone to the mono prints and they are just luscious. But that is just my opinion. :-)

Cliff, these images all capture the character of each individual so well and combined with background choices they really tell a unique story. This is a real testament to your skills. I know the vets must be thrilled with the results.
