OT - Airplane Pics

[NS13Jarhead]

On a Marine Corps Facebook-like page, one of the members posted these pictures from a trip to the National Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson in Ohio. There are some amazing shots. I don't know what he did to the color saturation, but the pictures almost look like paintings. There are several WWI aircraft in the collection. It's a must see for anyone who loves airplanes. Have a look.

They are rather paintings -look at the pic with the "Billy Mitchell" bomber: those guys are not real.

It could be CGI in parts, or painted. But he used real photos too.

And as cadeteBRA said: it must HDR photography. That is a way to gain extreme colour contrasts.

They look like illustrations rather than photos.
