wooooow

really nice shoots specially Tornado GR4 :thumbup:

 

[pbelarge]

It looks like you are in another jet/plane, is that so?

 

[molested_cow]

Wow, looks like as if you were on a chase plane! Incredible shots!

 

[lloydh]

Thanks everyone, unfortunately I wasn't in a plane :-( I was stood on a very cold hillside where they practice low flying

 

[lloydh]

Just added a few more in the original post, would love to hear what you all think!

 

[pbelarge]

The photos are amazing, and absolutely incredible with the fact you were actually on the ground taking the shots! Great job!!

 

[Destin]

What camera/lens combo were they shot with? I would think you'd have to have AT LEAST a 500mm to get these!!

 

[lloydh]

Thanks! They were taken with a nikon d80 and the nikkor 70-300mm vr lens.

I wish we had a place like that awesome shots I could stand on that hillside all day if they were coming by.

 

[Robin Usagani]

Incredible... i felt like you have to be an Ironman to do these shots LOL.

 

[Robin Usagani]

nice.. 1/400 sec and you get that much blur because they are so fast.

 

[lloydh]

There travelling at about 350-400 knots so there not exactly slow but the lowest I ever go for the jets is about 1/200th sec thats about my limit

 

[edouble]

AMAZING!!!!

 

[Timbo1961]

This is a place (Machynlleth in Wales ... where the name comes from) that I would love to go ... on my bucket-list for sure.
Awesome shots Lloyd!!!
I have seen videos etc. with these guys flying below you ...
I am so envious ...
Nicely done!!!

One of these days I will get there from Canada...
