Lakenheath, storm clouds and sunsets!

[nigelblake]

3 Days at Lakenheath, they were on zero six for 2 days and I was blessed with some truly stunning weather conditions, amazing light and the Eagles flying at the right time to get the best of, needless to say I got seriously wet and cold shooting some of these, but you have to suffer for your art sometimes!!! You can find loads more on my Flickr pages too!

Wow... you managed to captrue some nice airplanes in beautiful light conditions. Pretty neat - thank you for sharing them with us! Thanks for your determination and for getting miserably cold and wet - but you sure got something great in return!
Cheers

Like the detail on #3 and #4 Nighel. You were just leaving on Weds as I arrived!

[paddyboy]

Simply splendid and thanks for posting

Best regards

Paddyboy

[deerhunter]

Superb as usual Nigel, a pleasure to see

[horacecov]

What a brilliant set

[Proteus]

Atruly cracking set of images, thank you............Regards N.

[Thunderbolt II]

Superb- really great.

[nigelblake]

Many thanks for all the comments!
Yes Simon I thought I saw you, I went to the 06 end and then departed as the wind direction didn't look that "helpful" for night shooting with regard to the heat haze!

[DanBeeden]

Simply superb - as always. Inspiring to look at.

[Figure8]

They're all tremendous but I love the superb detail on number 3. Quite an extraordinary set of images.

[Velvet Glove]

Wow! .. One of the best sets I’ve seen of late. I’m biased re: subject matter but the light and the compositions are brilliant.

[mikee115]

Fantastic set. Saw you go out in one of the showers. Pics are more than worth it.

[nigelblake]

A big thankyou for all the comments!

[DeltaCharlieKilo]

Truly amazing set!

Hard to single out a particular image but I really like F15s landing sequence and No. 15. Spectacular light in that shot.

[brewerybod]

Have seen very similar sets on here before....still nice to see though.

[nigelblake]

Thanks again!
