Variable geometry aircraft tactical land-attack. Have served in the Air Forces of the Warsaw Pact countries and some non-aligned Countries, participating in international conflicts as The Six Day War, the invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 or the Iran-Iraq 1980.

As you can see we have a long-exposure night photography. The first thing to note is that no retouching beyond levels adjustment and unsharp mask.

The illumination was carried out between two people: one of them lit up with lanterns warm light of the aircraft fuselage with soft emphasizing light past the fuel tank and the bottom of the plane for being in complete darkness.

The other person places a flash behind a wheel and facing the camera angle to get the lighting you see on the ground. Leaving the flash frame with a trigger to the power that had been tested before the final shot.
This operation is repeated on the wheels and the front Tolba on the front of the aircraft.

The white balance manually adjusted considering the existing light pollution at the time of making.
All this is a perfectly coordinated team effort not to be lit while walking by the frame.
The exposure time was determined by the speed of the clouds that were in the sky over Madrid. A short exposure time would have left too fluffy clouds with values ​​of calm, antagonistic to this illumination. An exposure time too long have caused the sky was completely overcast.
Observed velocity clouds are chosen to show the time that you see in the EXIF ​​as they bring great energy and contrast values ​​in the image.

On the composition highlights the direction opposite to the aircraft in which they are the clouds and causing more visual surprise in the spectator.

The aircraft located at the rear light received by flashlight to contextualize the main subject and was not surrounded by black hardcover.
