Description
The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries throughout the Second World War and on into the 1950s as a front line fighter and in secondary roles. It was produced in greater numbers than any other Allied fighter design and was the only Allied fighter in production throughout the war.
This vintage plane was shot at the Shoreham-by-Sea airshow in the UK during August 2011. I used a Canon 5D MKII with Canon 70-200 IS USM zoom and 2x teleconverter. Three other cloud and sky images were blended in along with a light texture in Photoshop. Topaz Remask and Adjust 5 were also used.

I really enjoy creating the aircraft images from capture at airshows to the final editing work. The Spitfire is an all time favorite of mine so this was extra special for me. I'm so glad you enjoyed it too Lianne, thanks very much indeed. Cheers.
