Yes
Amongst all the numerous Red Arrows and other fairly average shots I took at Eastbounre's Airshow this year, I got this one of the Eurofighter. Admittedly, it's the only reason I went this year, as I missed it in 2009.

I wanted to create something a little more dramatic, rather than your usual blue sky shot.

I really like the afterburners and the heat trail.

Always keen on your view and opinions. Please feel free to comment.

Perhaps a bit of noise reduction on the clouds IMO.

Would you believe that I already have - full whack in photoshop elements. Perhaps it was not enough. Thank you for your comment.

Reheat? Is that what it's called? You learn something new everyday. I've obviously been watching too much Top Gun. Afterburner does sound better though. No?
 
i love this pic well done its probably my favourite plane photo ever, it looks so much better than having a blue sky (y)
 
And Typhoon has an ejection seat, not an ejector seat.

Fabulous photo by the way - the composition and atmospheric sky would look great as a painting too.
 
That's a lovely shot AND sky, of all the days i've spent down at Coningsby i've never seen a sky like that, matches the afterburners well !
 
When I saw 'Typhoon' as the title, I expected to see the old WW2 prop driven aircraft . . . :whistle: oh dear, showing my age. A great shot, so much atmosphere, I usually find jets a bit boring, but this one gets the (y)(y)(y) from me

Hey People,

Thank you for all the lovely comments, it really means a lot to me. I cannot believe it's the best plane photo some have seen. Such a compliment :) If you want to see it bigger, have a look on my flickr photostream here ....

@Ziploc - it's a 3 image, 1 photo (obviously!) HDR, the tone map processing brought out the clouds, I desaturated it a bit, reduced the noise (but only to the sky), I sharpened and lightened the plane a tad, adding a little saturation to the reheat to bring out the glow. I'm sure I did something else, may be some levels adjustment, but cannot remember.

Thanks again everyone.

Cheers

Awesome and stunning :clap:

I'd get a watermark on that one a bit quick.

What a shame no downloads allowed, would have been my new desktop background :D

Nice work.

Try it now Steve, I wouldn't want to disappoint! No watermark either.
 
Fantastic shot. I'm sure thats just the sort of thing the pilots would like on the crew/briefing room wall

What a great shot, it looks outstanding! Reheat, afterburner - technically I think its called augmentation, but everyone I know refers to them as 'burners!
