Air Show Photography

Published by:  Photo.net
Tutorial Preview:

There's something about flight that fascinates all of us. Whether it's watching a hawk soaring over the desert or marvelling at the tenacity of a World War II fighter pilot, chances are you've been captured by its magic at one time or another. Probably nothing inspires the awe of the aviation nut as much as the airborne gymnastics of an air show. The agility of the planes and the skill of the pilots wows us year after year. The sheer size of the C-5 transport, the poignant history of the Hanoi Taxi and the bubbly charm of performers like Patty Wagstaff just add to the magic.

Grabbing the moments on film, however, requires concentration and practice, not to mention a healthy investment in photographic gear. Most of what makes for successful air show photography is the same as what makes for any other successful photography, so much of the following material may be old hat to you. However, I've found that air show photography has a few quirks, and I hope that by relating these on this page, your next air show shoot will be more fun.
