While I was having a recovery day from running around all over New Mexico I saw a billboard sign that had a display for the War Eagles Air Museum in Santa Teresa New Mexico, and decided I needed to head over there and check it out. This place is inside a huge airplane hanger, and it didn’t just have amazing restored war planes it had a very nice car collection as well.
Main prop on an Avenger. This was the isolated shot that I was looking for to control the background.
T-28 Trojan Prop
To give you an idea of what the inside of the hanger looked like, below is a wide shot of a P-38 engine and prop. Take a look at the background.
So the car collection at the War Eagles Air Museum is just as impressive as its War Plane Collection. And after playing around a bit with the planes my attention turned to the cars.
Front hood ornament off and Auburn. Once again thinking about background control. About 15 feet behind this car is a TF-51 Mustang, but you would never know it.
With the way the background and ceilings were staying tight and looking for details in the cars and planes paid off. Had a great time at the Museum. If you do find yourself there go and take some time to really take in the history, and some fun shots.
