Hello, here is an image of an F111 taken as it was doing a ''dump and burn'' at the recent Avalon Airshow, this pic was taken as it passed in front of the sun, i was fighting glare etc but found the end result interesting, the Nikon D2h did a good job (my opinion) in metering,
taken with a Sigma 50-500, 1/1000 sec @ 200 iso, matrix metering.

Hello Monty, the posted pic is the original, with just a little post processing, i.e. sharpening.

You'll probably find that most people arn't keen to share a full size picture, or even something over about 800 or 1024 pixels on the long side. This is because it's so easy for photos to get stolen, and much harder to get credit and your dues after it's been published or used.

Great shot Nikon boy.
