The Impressive Honda Jet

Very few products in modern history have passed through all the development hoops lie the Honda  Jet. Since its inception in 1997 all the steps have been assertive and straightforward. It all started with a sketch that looks pretty similar to today's final production model with a few elements that are worth the mention as follows:


Wind-Mounted Engines. Since the first sketch these were mounted on wing pods and a graphic explains the vector distribution of the loads, in anticipation of the next examiner's question. T-tail and windshield shape are as original as the final outcome, take a look.


One of the things that caught my attention was the similarity between the two types of photography, one being technical imagery for engineering purposes and the other, purely commercial. You can say that the technical pictures can dub as product photography with good results just like the one above these lines.


Our next exhibit is a speechless wowing shot of a pristine product that has the word QUALITY written all over. Perfect color management, all sort of shades of blue challenged only by a red and green beacon on the wingtips, obeying to an aviation regulation more than to a design trait.

This is probably one of the best commercial pictures I have seen in a long time and it is ready to add a few characters and a logo, it needs nothing, it is just perfect the way it is.


For a technical/engineering product to have resonance there is an imperative accent set on the brand's reputation as there is no other way to probe your level of commitment in just one picture. The only way out is to portray an image with the power of its respective logo to imprint the reputation on the product based on years of performance and public acceptance.

I have a little criticism on the illumination coming from underneath as the reflection on the engine top lip rim is very inconsistency and looks a hair amateurish. Leaving that aside is a prefect picture and of course the corporate Honda colors and product do the rest. Nice.

Until the next issue,

Hard To Find Ones



Classic picture. A DC9-15 painted in back, tailored to Mr. Hefner's liking inside and out. I had the chance to fly one of these, only a larger version called the 32. It was owned by Eastern Airlines back in the day and needed up being bought by Republic Air in South America. They changed the name to a more Hispanic flair and named it Aerorepublica. Awesome plane for a meeting at 37.000 ft, the real mile high club.

The most important feature of this picture is the Lincoln/Cadillac coming out from the aircraft's belly which defines an era of opulence and sexual revolution led by Hugh Hefner, the founder of Playboy magazine.


Now here is the real deal in vintage aviation, the H1 (Howard Hughes 1) the famous aircraft in which Howard Hughes had a controlled crash into the ground as seen in the DiCaprio's representation (The Aviator). What is most amazing is the natural blending of blues and silver, along with the svelte silhouette of this unique craft, so stylish and yet robust enough to house the powerful and commensurate radial engine designed for air races.

There is a special value for many aviation enthusiasts about this aircraft and there is also an element of power embedded in its aura, as it looks like the great Cadillac of the air, especially when back in the time the name had a heavier resonance among elites.



And here is my darling, this precious Emeraude flying on the brink of illegality in terms of aviation safety regulations that allow (or do not) pilots to fly in restricted visibility conditions. However, regardless of the visibility limitations, these veils of light clouds season and decorate the venue by covering the background in a nice manner.

Love the round shapes of the windows and especially the elliptical shape of the wing, very much like the spitfire, obviously very British. See the G on the side along with more letters? well that B stands for Britain.
The very bottom line about the candid shot is the true representation of general aviation and the feeling of taking your plane for a joyride on a weekend, it just looks as fun as it is in real life. Give it try

Until the next issue, all the best,

Aircraft French Design



http://miguelperezphoto.com/services.html

Forget about the idea of the French language as the language of love and beauty. Forget also the idea of an exquisite dinner ordered and served in French. Grasp rather, the idea of admiring French design when it comes to general aviation.



This picture is simply great the way it is. The photographer was luck indeed but he was after the shot anyways so he has earned the whole credit.

The exposure is a tad under but who can say what under or what's not? I am sure this was a picture taken during the afternoon and from above, ot is a great deal of light for this setting. Above all, the French style when it comes to design it is simply unique. Very Peugeot.



Another beautiful shot but this time is not about the aircraft design but about composition. The subject is above the conventional target spot but there is a great reason for that and it is because underneath there is the most representative sector of Galicia, Spain. http://miguelperezphoto.com/sitemap.html

I'd say that a picture like this would make a perfect post card from Spain and to top it all off, there are those incredible turbines reminiscent of Don Quijote.



And this shot is a bit of both, design and image, well exposed, a nice crop and it reflects a concept used by BMW in their marketing campaigns: Happiness and joy. The picture has the ability to portray these elements from the start.

No need to think, just enjoy their ride, their happy days. I like this picture very much because of that, as beyond technicalities and photo analysis, those moments are the most important thing in life.

Aviation Photography FL

This is a platform for aviation photography in all of its forms, including aerial photography, air to air, airshows, military review, marketing, and training. There will be a great deal of critique and praise for those who have worked hard on their productions and we will try to get the best lesson out of those examples on how not to proceed. It is always a great exercise the comparison drill, the analysis and further evaluation of the comments.
I will be here soon with my content ready to share some thoughts.
