The sailplane pilot waits his turn to be pulled up to the blue. The glider is 70 years old and made in Finland. The plane type is PIK-5.
The photo is taken with Tamron's zoom lens.
360mm - F6.3 - 1/640s.
I have increased the contrast on the pilot and decreased the contrast on the sunburnt grass in the background.
In Lightroom, I have used Vintage Style preset 08.
The image is then converted to black and white in NIK6 Silver Efex using a High Dynamic Smooth preset.
