This Week's Hot Pic: "Escort Home," by William Schultze, Fredericksburg, Virginia
This photo is not quite what it seems at first glance. In fact, it's a clever composite made from model airplanes. William says: "I photographed these aircraft--a B-25 Mitchell and P-51 Mustangs--while they were being flown at a recent radio controlled model airplane event. Later, I shot the clouds from my front yard. Finally, I combined the scale models and the clouds into a single picture using Photoshop. I meant to depict a bomber returning home after a mission, escorted by the P-51 Mustang fighters."
William took this photo with a Nikon D70.
