Carrier CVN-74 USS John C. Stennis 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

CVN-74 John C. Stennis Widescreen Wallpaper.

Nuclear powered carriers are man-made marvels. The Stennis is a beautiful ship and this picture makes a great wallpaper.

The original was slightly underexposed so I worked the exposure levels and boosted the contrast.

The morning fog and steam combine to create an eerie, mesmerizing effect. I love it. The F-14D is on the carrier waiting to be launched and looking ready to kill.

The primary work on this picture was to crop it, adjust levels, and contrast.

F-16 Before and After Video

Here's an example of how a really bad original photo can be turned into a great shot using some techniques in Photoshop. Simple things can have a profound effect. This shot required using a photo filter to correct the color imbalance. After that, adjusting the exposure levels, contrast, saturation finished it.

A-10 Warthog Widescreen Wallpaper.

Ugly, slow, but dreaded, the A-10 is one bad looking plane. It also sports a kick-ass GAU-8 30 MM cannon. This shot includes my favorite nose art on the plane.

I cropped it slightly, adjust the levels down a notch and boosted the contrast. Add a little saturation and sharpening and you get an excellent wallpaper.

Great shot with an excellent background of rustic mountains and trees. Take a look at the colors.

Original shot was dull with too much mountain. I cropped it and adjusted the levels and contrast. The shot really popped with an increase in saturation. I added some sharpening to finish it off.

The Rafale is sweet looking plane. This shot is from a recent deployment with the United States Carrier Enterprise. Photo is sharp with good color. Nice sense of motion as well.

Cropped to 1680 and minor level adjustment. Added some contrast and saturation. Finished it with some sharpening.

In cockpit shots are some of my favorites. This shot just off Hawaii gives a sense of the beauty pilots get to see on a daily basis. Makes me wish I was there.

Shot is cropped to 1680. The exposure is a little high so it took some level adjustments to bring it down. Adjusted contrast and gave it a slight saturation boost. Finished it with some sharpening.
