This blog is to document the creation of my work entitled
“B-17 Then And Now”.
It all started with my attending an air show at Niagara
Fall, New York
in 2007. A B-17 that that was used in the filming of the 1990 movie “Memphis Belle”
was on display. Knowing that my Photoshop CS5 had the capability of stitching
multiple images into a panorama, I took 5 overlapping shots of the bomber with
many people milling about in front of her.
After stitching them together in and cleaning it up a bit
Photoshop, I thought I was pretty much done with the image. The somehow I got
the idea to do a then and now composition, with the plane at the air show on
the bottom and the same plane on a combat mission above.
The first real challenge I faced was to reconstruct the
bottom of the B-17 that was obstructed by all those people standing if front of
her.
That will be the subject of part 2.
