The noise! My God, the noise!
an alternative to the old gritter eh.
Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack
off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.
Good pic though, the noise makes it look a bit retro, it looks great believe me![]()
Love the plane shot (what is it? Harrier?) Really like how you can see the brighter "rings" with afterburner. Noise? Sorry, did you say noise? I can't year ya!
Woke up this morning to find just a wall of white out of the hotel window. Half way up the mountain, we're in it. Will post a pic when it clears (should be awesome up in the Swiss mountains)
English Electric Lightning Mk 6 at Bruntingthorpe. The rings are shockwaves in the exhaust gas - and believe me, you could feel every one! No noise reduction, pretty much OOC.
I've taxi'd in one when I was a lot younger, my old man was Lightning ground crew in Saudi. Awesome old beasts they are, seeing them go full vertical after takeoff is jaw dropping
I think you can buy supersonic rides in EELs in South Africa. Plenty of ocean around there to avoid disturbing people. I can't remember ever seeing one flying, but they look really mean. They're just a big jet engine with stabilisers attached, like a rocket.
The photo doesn't really show how BIG these things are. They were letting us sit in the cockpit of the second plane in the hangar - felt like a kid again
I really should clone out those legs though.![]()
View from my window:
Only worked with manual focus, auto just focussed on the closest snowflake.
And me trying rather stupidly to do a 1 second exposure:

Yup, that is genuinely the photo btw, not just a random white 640x480 jpeg.
That's not a 1 Sec exposure
