First Solo Flight
Dec 15, 2019 09:18:23 #
Josies first solo flight. Looks a bit apprehensive, alone in a plane.
Most of my Granddaughters pics are from my Daughters Samsung Galaxy S8 SM-G950U. I do the cropping and any needed enhancements. I'm generally amazed at how well these things turn out, sometimes with no tweaking. Since she lives thousands of miles away, I get to see Josie through her camera, which is a cell phone. She has a Canon I recommended she get years ago, but never uses it. Really, I don't mind at all, and my photo editing needs are well fed via the cell and the internet.
For a while I thought she might be the worlds greatest photographer, then realized that thanks to the cell, she takes tons of pictures, some turn out really good, most are just like mine and other non-pros are ho hum. Her subject matter is also hitting my sweet spot, my daughter and granddaughter, so a touch of bias there...
Looking at this one, it looks like it could be brightened a bit and a tad less saturation, but it looks good on my desktop background slideshow, and on my Portal slideshow.

Yeah, she looks a little tentative. GRIPPING that belt!

thinking she would feel more confident with a flight instructor sitting directly behind her...

No explanation needed for anything. This beautiful young lady is your granddaughter and no photo of her could ever be classed as needing anything. Well done sir.

I hadn't really noticed that.
She's probably wondering if she can bail out with that thing on.

For sure. Moms flight instructions from the ground seems a little iffy.

Thanks Dennis. She does exploit my photographic prejudices somewhat.
Most of her pictures, however, are from her Mom, I'm just the editor-in-chief.
This pic needed straightened a bit, and the haze removed, and some color adjustments.
Many of her cell pics are a little hazy, not sure why. Super easy to remove with the haze filters in Affinity or ACDSee.
