Paya Lebar, Changi, and Sydney remastered
I can’t help myself. I recently realised that while I had remastered my non-aviation shots from our 2019 trip to Singapore, I still had those from the RSAF Museum at Paya Lebar, and from our final day when we spent half a day at Changi Airport before flying out in the evening. When I’d done…

Royal International Air Tattoo, 1999
The penultimate set of photos from my 1999 trip to the UK is here. While based in Brighton for work, I would spend weekends with my sister and brother-in-law in west London. When I rang my sister on Thursday evening to confirm I would be up on Friday night, she asked would I like to…

Winter Wellington
It felt like such a long time since I last posted that I was sure I had failed to blog about plenty of visits to Wellington Airport, but on investigation there is only my most recent visit this last week. I was taking some encouraged time off work and decided to head out to see what…

Concorde at Heathrow
As part of scanning my films from 1999 there are a handful of photos that fall between Imperial War Museum Duxford, 1999 and my upcoming reprocessing of RIAT ’99 that were taken when my brother-in-law offered to take me out to Heathrow to watch Concorde take off. Here’s G-BOAB (as best I can tell) departing RWY27R with…

Just a quick post about a couple of changes around here.

Imperial War Museum Duxford, 1999
Having recently, finally, mastered multi-frame scanning for 35mm negatives and slides, I set about scanning some of my films from the 1986-2005 period that I was an SLR user. I’ve concentrated on special trips for starters, including two I did to the UK in 1999 and 2001. On the 1999 trip I made visits to…

Catchup again
Although I have posted twice for photo album remasters in the last 9 months, I’ve not posted once about new photos, so it’s time for a quick catchup. I’ve seen a lot more of the Airbus A320neo/A321neo fleet, as Air New Zealand made heavy use of the types as domestic flying rebounded post lockdown. Here,…

Ohakea 2008 — Remastered
I’ve done it again. This was an “Open Day” at RNZAF Ohakea in 2008. This one took me a long while to get done, but the holiday break (despite some challenges) helped me break the back of the processing and I finished them off this week and got them all uploaded — something Flickr doesn’t…

Whenuapai Open Day 2009 — Remastered!
I’ve done it again. I’d been meaning to get to this album long before now so at least I had them all corralled in my asset manager, including 25 never before published photos! These photos are over eleven and a half years old but DxO PhotoLab was able to furnish me, once again, with some…

Welly winter wings
Aside from my extensive remastering work this year (over 500 photos remastered up to this point!) I have only made a handful of visits to Wellington International Airport since the last post on the subject, and all of those within the last 5 weeks. To be precise, 4 visits in 5 weeks. Herewith, a sampling…

Wings Over Wairarapa 2009 remastered
Once again, as on previous occasions, I have revisited one of my air show galleries — Wings Over Wairarapa 2009 — and reprocessed all the photos using DxO PhotoLab 3. PhotoLab is not the perfect photo processing tool, but it scores highly over every other one I’ve tried in getting the sharpest images out of…

Wings Over Wairarapa 2013 Remastered
Following on from prior album remasterings, I have turned my attention to my Wings Over Wairarapa 2013 album. I had recently added an extra six photos and these were to my modern standards, which made them stick out in the album. Also, I had recently been reminiscing about the De Havilland Mosquito that was present at…
