At >€30 million Euros each, pretty expensive “drones”.

So the Bimmer and the Beaver share a couple of "no touching" zones.The Bimmer and de Havilland Beaver.
I counted 5 (possibly 6) "no touching" zones based on Sam Abell's rules of composition (a friend who recently attended one of Sam's workshops here in Alaska confirmed these).
I unintentionally scored 4 of 5 (or 6)....beginner's luck I guess.
Hi Bart. I'm just getting this second hand of course, but from what my friends told me, Sam Abell's workshops are primarily about composition "in camera", including attention to the smallest details of spatial separation between important subjects or even the edge of the frame in a photo. He talked at length about looking for and creating even small spatial separations between objects in some of his most famous photos. It was interesting to hear his views and then think about his photos with that background. It caused me to look at a few of my own photos with a new perspective. I may take more care in the future to explore small changes in my position re those spatial separations. I experimented with that approach this weekend on a few trivial subjects.So the Bimmer and the Beaver share a couple of "no touching" zones.
Indeed, I think I can count 4 or 5 too of what I regard as such zones ...
But now you made me curious, so here's my 'burning question': what's the significance of having such zones ?
TIA
Best regards.

In my photo of the Bimmer and Beaver, I think three of the most important "no touching" areas between the car and the plane are:
1) the right wing of the plane and roof of the car (left side of the image)
2) the belly of the plane and hood of the car (I got just a hint of separation there...sheer luck!!)
3) the tire of the plane and front of the car (right side of the image)
Two other spatial separations that I think are important are between the tires of the car or the plane and the edge of the frame.
Two less important (to my eyes) no touching zones are between the tip of the propeller and the roof of the car and the tip of the propeller and the air intake on the belly of the plane. I got one of those.

At Brands Hatch in 1970 I stood in the rain and the wind and the cold for 6 hours 45 minutes and 29.6 seconds watching Pedro Rodriguez drive the Gulf 917 for the best part of 1000kms.The 917: limited in luggage and passenger space, but still my favorite car ever.

+1 to that. I'll never forget the photo of all the 25 cars that were lined up on 20 April 1969 (my birthday actually).The 917: limited in luggage and passenger space, but still my favorite car ever.

Wow, that's a good memory. The only thing I can remember is being evicted from my nice, warm home and then the whole physical abuse to my arse and the breathing thing.+1 to that. I'll never forget the photo of all the 25 cars that were lined up on 20 April 1969 (my birthday actually).
