This was taken with a mirror lens and the original image actually lacked contrast and was rather hazy. Red colour filter and posterization in post transformed this into a battle scene.

Sentinel Of The Sky

This aircraft had appeared during a lull in my bird photography in the area. This was taken with the camera still set to jpeg and digital zoom. So this was taken at the equivalent focal length of 1200mm, and was actually taken more than 10 years ago at a time when I was still doing bird photography in the wild. The image was cropped a little to compose and tilted a little for some drama.

In post, I got lazy and used the Photoshop ‘Auto Colour Correction’ feature and then intensified the blues and cyans of the sky. Contrast was also tweaked a bit.

The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird is the fastest jet aircraft in the world, reaching speeds of Mach 3.3--that's more than 3,500 kph (2,100 mph) and almost four times as fast as the average cruising speed of a commercial airliner
