Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome Field will host a night photo event on October 5, 2024 (click HERE for information). This rare opportunity allows photographers to capture images of vintage aircraft at the aerodrome. Night engine-run photo shoots have gained popularity among aviation photographers, offering a unique perspective on aircraft. The resulting images are known for their dramatic, simple, and clean composition. Six aircraft will be positioned and illuminated for night engine runs. Each aircraft will be lit one at a time using continuous-source LED lights and will run for approximately eight minutes. This provides ample time for photographers to capture images from all angles and achieve the “disc effect” of the turning propeller.
Tom Pawlesh, a retired airline pilot with a passion for aviation and photography, will coordinate and light the event. With a lifetime of experience both flying and photographing airplanes, Pawlesh will bring his expertise to the evening. Please note that the event is weather dependent. In the case of inclement weather, payments will be considered donations to support the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, as no refunds will be issued.
