Default Tornado F3's near St. Andrews Scotland

Shot this pair of Tornado F3's as they were returning to their base at RAF Leuchers near St. Andrews. All taken with the EOS 1DS Mkii and the Sigma 120-300 f2.8 with a 1.4TC hand held. All ISO 250 speeds between 1/500sec and 1/1200sec f5.6 or f8ish +2/3rds EC. Any comments welcome as is constructive criticism.
Thanks for looking I hope you enjoy.
Cheers
Ricky

Nice. I'd be happy with them.

For something like these, I'd have shot on M, though.

Thanks for the advice Frank but I thought that Av with e/c was the safer option as I knew I only had one shot and didn't know where the aircraft was coming from. Cheers for the comment though I appreciate it.

I love the Tornado, a superb aircraft. Its a shame reheat isn't being used for the third shot.

RS500 Reheat would have looked superb but from the distance I was I think the ear drums would have been hitory

Luigi thanks for that, thankfully though we don't get Tornados of the wind type here in Scotland

Shaggy go on and buy the 120-300 it is a fantastic lens and is useful for so many different types of photography. I love this lens and as seen here is easy to hand hold also Thanks for the comments.

Thanks folks
Ricky
