The Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset England is the National Museum for the Royal Navy. The museum represents the flying arm of the Royal
Navy but also has the first Concorde. RNAS Yeovilton is home to the
Royal Navy's Lynx and Commando Helicopter Forces. A visit to an aircraft museum can means lots of boring pictures of aircraft sitting in
hangers. On the day I took my share of those pictures which get filed and eventually deleted but I try to take pictures that are different and haven’t been taken before by the
millions of previous visitors. Check out Gavin Hoey for some more great ideas. I've put together 5 examples of alternative images. All are fairly common techniques but I find that I get more pleasure looking at
pictures that make me think rather than looking at picture of just common
objects taken from common angles. Here is Example 1 GET IN CLOSE
As well as taking pictures of the whole aircraft, get in close and take pictures
that show off colours and textures like the aircraft wing above.
There are a limited amount of aircraft but an unlimited amount of textures,
colours, components and angles.
Don’t be afraid to change the contrast or saturation or even change the image
to black and white.
I like to digitally frame and share any photos that I have enjoyed creating.
So go ahead, take the family snaps and the normal tourist photos
then just STOP and look for that exciting image.

This Jet engine intake fan was tucked away in a dingy recess.
By simply increasing the colour saturation and exposure
you can now see the details on the blades as they take on this bronze colour.
