- Airshows can get crowded really quick, for the planes on fixed exhibition try different angles to crop people out of the shot
- Helicopters look better when are shot with a land reference, otherwise they look fixed on the sky as if they were hanging from a thread
- For jets panning is enough to show movement, but with propeller getting the sense of movement is hard. Get a Shutter speed of 1/320 secs to get that
- A monopod can help but with a very good swivel head
- Heat Haze coming out of jet airplanes can create a very good effect on the background
- Airshows are very dusty so be careful on changing lenses. Is best to set your camera once and not have to change lenses in this environment
- Bring sunscreen!!! next to the runway there is no shade
- Look at any information on the airshow before hand, what kind of airplanes will be shown on the ground and what are the airshows
- Plan your cards and space, you can spend hundreds of pics at the beginning and as the day progresses you could run out of space. I spent 16GB of space on 4 hrs at McChord Airforce Airshow in Tacoma, WA, USA
Example of propeller with fast shutter speed, other than the smoke no sense of movement
At 1/500 some blur can be seen on the propeller
Different angles to eliminate crowds around the airplane
