Aircraft in flight ?

Graham, those shots are great. Especially I like those with traces.
I never was on the air show and doesn't seen it on TV either, but from your photos I've got feeling that need to watch one some day as it looks like something interesting.

Glad you like them. Here's a few more : -


Can you see all the things you can get to see up close.


I think this was a landing craft carrier ship.


I thought this plane would be bigger.


A red arrows up close.


Trust it to rain when this part was on.


This one was faster than the speed of sound.


Another red arrows photo.


And the last one for now.

I like the Red Arrows formation flying best from an earlier post. Some really good photos there.

Your camera takes nicely balanced colour shots.

OK, here's some suggestion to make even better shots:

I suggest framing the subjects so as to eliminate the unwanted stuff and get more of the subject into the shot. For example, The end of a plane tail is chopped off and a mother with child is quite prominent in the shot.

Before publishing a photo you can crop out things like this or for example the sky diver that was out of the frame so it looks like you did a perfect shot.

But I have to say that your pictures of the formation flying of the Red Arrows are stunning.

Thanks for the good suggestions. My problem was that 35 thousand people were milling around and made it hard to take ground shots. The air shots were just as hard because of the speed and the fact that i had to zoom in on most of the planes. I could have done better though on some and others were just lucky shots. It might have been better if i'd photoshopped them first. All i've done is re-size them so far.

even if you are taking pictures in lots of light to use a flash to stop movement either yours or the subjects.
