I post these for no other reason than I would have just deleted them from my hard drive……and I wanted to see what they looked like on the web.
I’ve been experimenting with my settings and work flow in Elements 5.0 and I randomly picked the attached Spitfire piccies, for no other reason than the lighting at DX is rubbish, and applied the new work flow/settings. A bit more tweaking I think.
Spot the deliberate mistake

Hello Brian
The furthest most wings appear disproportionatly larger on some shots, or is it my eyes?
Cheers

Its just an optical illusion and can be seen in most Spitfire shots!
(i think its all to do with curves and angles)

Morning John…..
….and no, it’s not your eyes. Nearly all the photos I have of any aeroplane taken at those sort of top side angles seems as though the wing furthest away is larger than the one that is nearer.
The only theory I can come up with, and probably talking utter waffle but it works for me, is that with the nearer wing you are looking along the length of the top side, and because the angle of the wings attached to the fuselage and the angle of the airframe in the photo, the outer wing is more of a plan view, and you can see more of it, hence the optical illusion. If that makes sense?.
