Eurofighter Typhoon

[PeterCollins]

Hi Guys

Another shot from Sunday, I am never too sure about posting pics of jets as they can be quite hard to do well, especially the newer ones where capturing motion is difficult.

I like this shot with the light angle on aircraft as well as the very visable afterburners, the pilot is pulling into a 5g arched loop (a loop at an angle) and was a very impressive display. Aircraft was pulling about 500knts at this point

Have a catalina, F86 and some from a display team called the Blades to show as well :)

C&C welcomed as always

the afterburners do it for the jets!! the going away is often overlooked, but always seems to work! i'd love the see the eurofighter demo. never seen one here!

Looks like big time muscle there! Pretty impressive.

Nice and sharp and I like the nice placement in frame.

I think jet would look good a little smaller in frame as well.

Nice IF capture, wing position and underside lighting...Ooops..this is not a bird with feathers! After burners do it for me as well...great shot Peter...TFS

That's a beauty. Nice angle to catch the burners. (I guess you don't really want eye contact with this bird! :cool:)

I experimented with a tighter crop and position in the frame. Also toned down what looks on my monitor to be a slight cyan cast.

it appears your right removing the cast does help :)

Thanks for the positives all, i know not your traditional "birds" but hope you enjoy them all the same :)

Hi Peter, sharp image along with good exposure.
David's repost has the positioning of the fighter where I think it's most effective. In the OP fighter was almost flying out of the image. Removing the cast also improved the image...
