This picture sequence was published in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday.  It is worth a look.

I've got a few of those kind of shot as well.  Took them during San Francisco Fleet Week (October 2010).

Take a look at the thumbnail, or view the whole set on my Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/orionlyau/sets/72157625553666038/ :D.

Tregarth - that's my photo! The solent news agency has been pedaling the image and the story for the last month or so, but this is the first time I've ever seen a picture of it actually printed in the news paper. I don't know why that's a big deal to me, other than it being a first for ever having one of my pictures used in news print.

I also have had some success with this image in National Geographic. In fact, that's how the solent news agency found this picture and contacted me. I posted about this on my blog.

Thanks so much for posting that PDF!! :-)

sskinner & tregarth, thanks to you both. Great set of pics in the PDF (and I'll assume on FlickR - will go there next Orion - looks like a good photo also).
