F/A-22 Raptor 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

F/A-22 Raptor 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper.

Nice two-ship formation of Raptors. I did a crop and added a color filter. It also needed some contrast adjustment and slight sharpening to make it pop.

The clouds in the shot add a nice contrast and give the shot more power.

F/A-22 Afterburner Shot 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

F/A-22 Widescreen Wallpaper 1680 x 1050.

You have to love a shot that has both condensation and afterburners. This picture exudes raw power.

I cropped it and adjusted the contrast. Shot needed a minor saturation adjustment. Sharpened the image as well. The focus of the shot is just slightly off, but overall it's an amazing photo.

B-2A Spirit 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper.

Nice in-flight aerial refueling shot. Notice the detail on B-2.

Photo was cropped, slightly saturated, and sharpened. The levels were near perfect in the original. It's a great shot.

F-14D High Speed Pass 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

F-14D High Speed Pass 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper.

Ok, this shot is simply stunning. The condensation formed from the aircraft being near Mach 1.0 adds the needed visual punch.

Shot is cropped to add impact (nothing lost since original just had more blue space). Levels were lightened and contrast enhanced. Slight saturation boost and sharpening.

F/A-18E Super Hornet 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

F/A-18E Super Hornet 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper.

Sweet high AOA afterburner shot.

The original shot was in portrait format. I rotated and cropped to 1680. The rotation left some dead areas so I needed to duplicate the sky around the corners.

I adjusted the levels, contrast, saturation, and sharpening. It's a great shot.

B-1B Bomber 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

B-1B 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper.

Powerful head-on shot. The morning light provides a nice contrast and the cold air makes for a dramatic image.

F/A-18C 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Desktop Wallpaper.

You've got to try this wallpaper on your desktop. The formation shot will make you feel like you're right over the carrier.

For this pic, I cropped, adjusted contrast, and sharpened.

F/A-22 Raptor and F-15E Strike Eagle Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

F/A-22 and F-15E 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper.

Classic formation shot with an Alaskan mountain background. The F/A-22 is designed to replace the F-15 and you can see the design improvements. If I remember correctly, the F/A-22 is replacing the F-15E in Alaska.

This shot required a lot of post-processing. The original shot was washed out so I had to adjust the RGB levels. I also did a bump in contrast with a touch of saturation to make the color pop. The end result is much better than the original.

F-15D Cockpit 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

F-15D 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper.

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.

F-16C Aggressor Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

F-16C Aggressor 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper.

Magnificent shot of two F-16C's in formation. The Aggressor squadron jets have the best paint jobs too. The cloud in the background adds a needed visual element.

The original shot was in good shape so I just needed to crop it to 1680, adjust the contrast, very slightly boost saturation, and sharpen.

Rafale M 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

French Rafale M (Marine) Widescreen Wallpaper.

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.

CV-22 Tiltrotor 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpapers

USAF CV-22 Tiltrotor Widescreen 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.

A-10 Warthog 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

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.
