Re: Fw 190s from Alfred Price
I would agree on the retouching but how does that compare to the copy in the 1966 boo?. No photoshop then!

Re: Fw 190s from Alfred Price
Hi Chris,
I would value the Colonel's opinion on this. To my eye, your photo seems to be a different copy from the same negative. Some observations: 1. Ries' photo p. 49 is cropped. Only the aircraft is visible so I cannot compare the lower background. 2. The ever so slightly lighter tone of greys in Ries' picture eliminate all clouds and give a solid looking sky as well as all but eliminating the third propeller blade. This suggests to me a different print. 3. The white dot in the "5" and all white negative imperfections are eliminated. 4. In your picture the outline of the aircraft and the demarcation lines between dark and light camo are more defined, suggesting a better quality photographic paper was used. Curiously, the visible propeller blades are better defined in Ries' photo. best regards, Jim Last edited by Karoband; 25th October 2018 at 14:43. |

Attached is a digital photograph of a photograph that may simply be an over-enlargement of a small portion of a negative resulting in an image that is grainy and blurry. Jim Last edited by Karoband; 25th October 2018 at 22:10. |

The tail wheel is depicted as being retracted, but it's retracted in the wrong location. And the drop tank attachment is wonky and wrong too. This photo appears to be a heavily doctored image. Bronc Last edited by Broncazonk; 26th October 2018 at 20:27. |
