Eurofigher Typhoon in all its glory! *new pics added*

Just amazing shots. Quality effort! These really show the power and true awesomeness these bit of kit have!? =)
 
4 awesome images, number 3 for me I think just for the bg and the burners.
 
All good shots but no.2 is something else. Excellent.
 
A very nice set Alastair :clap:

Incredible shots, especially with the afterburners on.

WOW - Nice shot - all of them - Did you go into the lake district to get these or around Yorkshire - I know a few guys who sit in a sertain few specs where the planes practice these moves and they operate below their seating area - they would not tell me where though.

There is another place in Lancashire - The Trough of Bowland - also good for heli togging

Great shots though(y)
 
serious question ..how do you hold your camera steady when one of these thunder through the valley? :eek: cracking shots too (y)
 
Great set
 
Stunning shots, and so close to them for those focal lengths too!
 
Great shots Alistair, no. 2 is a cracker.
 
Great shots. Is the Eurofighter a regular feature at Cad West? I'm thinking of heading there some time to test the 7D + 100-400 but would much prefer to see Eurofighters than only hawks ;-)
 
Lovely set. And nice to know that the 7d does work up there, and that when i get there it will be me that f's them up.
 
Lovely shots Alastair, but give 'em a sharpen and they'll knock your eye out.
 
Out of intereset, can someone please explain how these are allowed? I would have thought they would have asked questions of someone snapping away?

Think the area they fly in is a little to big to police

I dunno I get the impression that perhaps the pilots know the togs are there and sometimes tend to 'bandstand' a little?

Shot in a public place, there is no law against it? :shrug:

Apparently there is a forum where pilots will request pictures... from what I hear :)

They wave and at times do a nice roll at certain parts of the loop.

Theres more than one.
 
Number 3 stands out.(y)
I'm after a 7D as well, awesome bit of kit. What lens were you using?:thinking:
 
If I was one of the pilots Id like to have a copy of the photos that i see here:):)
Wonder if anyones ever been approached by the pilots for a copy
 
lots of photographers on another forum have been contacted, through a middle man for images, unfortuantely it appears the american F15 pilots have screwed up once too often, in not sending a simple thanks by email, where as some of the brit pilots have sent squadron goodies and even one fella recieved a tour of a base!

The tornado on tuesday went straight on out to sea, but appeared to be looking at two fella on a hill hoping it turned sharp left infornt of them, next time round, sharp left turn, with a wave!!

As has been said earlier, they know which websites to look at for images posted. They then pm you usually if they want one.
This particular image wasn't one of my best. In fact I fluffed the focus. But it was all he had the chance of taking home.
