The original photo was taken on April 19, 2017 on a trip to Nellis Air Force Base located in Las Vegas NV. The photo is of the U.S. Air Force Thunderbird Planes on the tarmac. It was taken with a Canon T2i camera and a 50 to 250 mm zoom lens and a polarizing filter on the camera. I am not sure what the f-stop and shutter speed used was.
I retouched the photo in Windows Live Photo Gallery and resized it to the upload requirements in IR Fan view. The retouching was to change the coloration and double the number of planes seen in the original photo.
