Farewell Tour Vulcan

Shot today, light was poor, overcast, hazy, nasty white clouds and the RAW files were nasty. It took a lot of processing to get these like they are. The sky was just white, plain white and there was nothing that could be done with it so I've included the same images but with the sky changed BUT! the sky I used was from an image of the Vulcan the last time it flew over South Wales for it's 50th anniversary so it's not cheating that much ?! Pentax K5ii & Sigma 170-500mm

Those are pin sharp. The sky is the sky. but have you had a play with the colour balance? Just I think the camouflage is grey/green rather than grey/black.

You're right, its how the camera recorded it due to the poor light and no PP'ing will bring it back to normal

They're nice shots. I took some when it passed over here (Cheshire) but they're nothing special as photos, nice to see it one more time though.

Thanks Mike

Nicely done, Gareth. Sad to see this super aircraft grounded.

Impressive images of a fine aircraft.

Best regards
