I love airplanes and have loved them for my entire life. This is one of the best picture I have seen.

Beautiful reflection in the pont. Catching the whole plane enhances the photo.

Location
Avro Vulcan B.Mk2 XM655 at Wellesbourne, WarwickshireTime
When I turned up on site it was during a rainstorm. Honestly standing there in the wet and the wind we almost gave up. However, the rain passed and slowly but surely the weather front passed over the airfield and just as the sun was starting to set it cleared the tail of the cloud and gave us about five minutes of golden glory.Lighting
Patience and persistence.Equipment
Taken handheld lying on the wet floor with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and EF24-70mm f/2.8LInspiration
The photo opportunity was created by TimeLine Events in the UKEditing
Nothing other than the standard Lightroom enhancements with some distractions removed in photoshop.In my camera bag
For 2017 I have moved away from Canon and started using Micro FourThirds.Feedback
