I live about 15 minutes from the National Museum of the US Air Force, or, as we know it, the Air Force Museum. Over the years it's become my go-to place for equipment tests when the weather isn't good enough to go outside. Today's tests were of the Sony Rx1 camera and
the Sirui T005X tripod. I use an Arca style grip on the Sony and had added a larger Arca style receiver to the small ball head on the tripod. I forgot a cable release but do have a soft release on the camera. You can see that the exposures were very long.
The only frustrating thing to me is that the 35mm focal length wasn't quite wide enough. When I tested the Sigma DP1 Merrill camera with the 28mm lens it was near perfect.
There are many cool planes in this museum, unfortunately, they're nearly impossible to shoot.
The B52, the B1B, the Stealth fighter and the Blackbird are just too big to get any angle on. However, Betty Jo, the Twin Mustang and some of the nose art is pretty easy to shoot.
The last shot is a B36 bomber from SAC. It has six prop pushers and four jet engines. They refer to it as "6 turnin' and 4 burnin'".

Just curious why you chose to stop the lens down so far?
