Eagle dawn (aviation)

Friday 10th of February 2012 was the 20th anniversary of the arrival of USAF F15E Strike Eagles at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, there had been some snow and a hard frost during the evening and night before, this added to a golden dawn made for some very special photography conditions......
All shot with Canon EOS 1DsMkIII and 600mm f4IS, some with a 1.4X converter. All shot in Aperture priority with +2/3 to + 1&1/3rd EV compensation, RAW convertion DPP and additional PP (resizing, sharpening etc) in Photoshop.
