Excellent work. The technical aspects of capturing am image where the subject is moving at high speed in an environment where the focus is changing rapidly are not trivial. I'd suggest nice planning and I'll bet it took a few tries to get it right.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this in a low fly training area in Waes,Uk known as the 'Mach Loop'

Time

Early morning as Valley mists were rising

Lighting

Sun was behind at this location that time of the morning

Equipment

Nikon D5500 with Tamron 150-600 lens

Inspiration

I was traveling through the area several yrs ago and 2 F15s flew low over my car,Ive been hooked on photographing fighter jets ever since

Editing

I just sharpened the image a bit,tbh I have no photo shop skills

In my camera bag

For fast jets just D5500 and tamron 150-600 although last week I upgraded to a Nikon D500 which should produce aclearer image and shoots at 10 frames per sec..

Feedback

Patience is a virtue in these low fly areas,good boots ,clothing also essential as you are often on exposed mountains
