About the Image(s)
My other passion beyond photography is flying. I have a partnership in a 1967 Cessna 182 which I enjoy flying. I have been drawn to planes since I was youth. Every once in a while, I'll pull out my Canon F-1n camera and a roll of B&W to experience the amazing process of taking an image which you don't have immediate feedback and go through the process of developing the image. It is fun to see what you end up with. This was a morning image I took when I was waiting for the fuel truck to arrive to add full to the plane before I went on an early morning flight. If you have ever listened to the song Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd, that song takes you through the transformation from being on ground to flying. This song is how feel when I take flight which is where the title of this image comes from.

Congratulations on being a pilot and plane co-owner. I worked in the Aerospace business until I retired many years ago and have loved planes, rockets, space flight since I was just a pup.
An interesting perspective of your Cessna that you chose for this month. A clean fuselage with the tail number prominently in view.
I like it

Your image clearly shows that there is a very real difference between digital and film/paper.

Big respect to film photographers, film processing is a complicate process.
It is interesting to see the original image and the inverted image.
