I used this found image for the background because it represented the battle of Britain and how the people of the time would have seen it, from below looking up above. I adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the planes stand out more, as well as the boats, and the levels to make it contrast even more.​

With the eraser tool I added this image of my own and resized it to fit where I intended it to. I adjusted the levels as well, in order to make the green of the camouflage stand out more and contrast against the black and white of the background. This was additionally to represent the past and present coming together in the image. ​

Using a different found image I adjusted the levels and exposure to increase the contrast of the black and white in the image, then cut it out and layered it onto the previous image. I used this image because it mirrored the position the previous two figures were in and stays with the concept of the past and present coming together.​

Finally I added this image of the Red Arrows to add another section of colour to the image and to tie together the different types of planes. I increased the saturation and intensity of the smoke colours and reduced the opacity before layering it behind the two figures on the right to complete the photomontage.​
