Great zoom. Seems like you could almost reach up and touch it.
Amazing in zoom mode. You really take great shots of planes. Looks huge. Aloha and thanks for your comments and visits. Have a good week.
The two folks above me are right...a most amazing zoom! But then this aircraft itself is an amazing aircraft. Wouldn't it be neat to have an hour with the Wright brothers today and be able to get their reaction to an aircraft like this!!! You know that might make a good piece of fiction to write...:-)))
another fantastic shot.
Jolie photo!
An awesome series...
Wonderful shot.
id say great pov, well done. this plane looks so heavy from this angel.
like the angle of this shot
MARVEOLUS CAPTURE...EXCELLENT IMAGE..!!!
A massive Aircraft and a great view! Nice shot Sig.
It's a weird thing to try to explain meeting something that was just words and then just calculations. A lot different from meeting a celebrity who has been publicly known for a while but it is your first personal acquaintance.
Great idea, lovely image
YEP! They are right! AMAZING in zoom.... you can almost touch it... Once again, brilliant! The RAF have bought 4 of these (small fry to the US needs) and leased 2 more. (More likely). Fab photo! Rob.
BIG AIRPLANE!
