Would you be happy to sell me an A2 print of this shot? Or send the JPEG so I can get one from PhotoBox? If so please PM me to discuss further.

Welll done with the Typhoon shot, I watched that on Friday but didn't get the photo.
Hope you managed to get the shot of the Belgian F16 on Saturday with the awesome shock wave

Wonderful stuff. Typhoon in the gloom is so moody but the Gripen jetwash is the pick for me.

Thanks for sharing these photos - I particularly like the harrier and the F86 shots. I have learned something about composition from this selection and will try to copy some of your ideas - great stuff
thanks Frank

Playing around with a trial version of Nik Color Efex 3.0 Pro (and Capture NX2), using a few photos from the airshow to practice on. Quite happy with the results. Didn't want to start a new thread for these so have thrown them in with my Leuchars airshow post.

34. Reds against a grey sky.


35. Tornado GR.4 pulls round for another attack run.


36. The Belgian F-16 again.

Enjoy

Love the first iconic B-52 shot. I really like the second B-52 shot too - a bit different.
