Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at an airshow in Volkel, the Netherlands.Time
It was around noon, the sky was deep blue with the clouds perfectly lit by the sun.Lighting
The power of this photo lies in the lighting on the exhaust smoke of the planes. It boosts the dramatic power and emphasizes the speed of the planes.Equipment
I used a Nikon D7000 and a Tamron 28-300 mm, handheld shot.Inspiration
My fascination for these marvelous designed planes. The power of such machines, controlled by one person, using skills to the max to keep it all under control.Editing
Yes, I did. Originally the photo contained one plane, which I duplicated and composed it with this end result. That’s in fact the power of this composed artwork: will this poetic scene end - within a split second - with a big bang, or not? That’s up to the viewer to figure out.In my camera bag
A Nikon D800e, a Tamron 28-300 mm, a travellers tripod and the AI Arsenal device.Feedback
Step out of your comfort zone, think out of the box. Do what your intuition tells you to do and don’t be afraid to fail. Keep shooting and processing, because it is you who is in control.
