48 Hour Photo Comp: The Human Element
48 Hour Photo Comp: The Human Element
Aircraft wouldn't get in the air without the people that keep them there. The pilot(s), the ground crew, the engineers, the baggage loaders, the list goes on...
So I would like to see your best shots featuring a human being(s) in shot.
Couple of rules:
- The human must be clearly visible in the shot
- There must be some element of an aircraft in the shot
- Reenactors are allowed, as are Museum staff/volunteers working on preserved aircraft
I'll allow up to three entries, good luck!

This is a "selfie' - not a type of shot I usually take! It is a still from a video I made for my local gliding club.
Far far harder to do than I imagined - and left with the golden rule of aviation - Fly the Aeroplane first!

one of the students getting it a bit wrong.. Overcooking rotation. What you can't see is the 'aghhhh' on the face of the instructor (me) watching him solo.

I thought I spent most of my time at airshows trying to avoid getting people in the frame, however it proved to be surprisingly difficult to choose just three!
