Sheiky, I love that A-10 picture that you took. It's a beautiful shot!
Here's one in flight that I took Memorial Day weekend, this year at The Jones Beach Air Show, in NY.

Re: Post your favorite Airplane shots
Great shots Jim and Rich! Thanks for the comment Rich, it's also still one of my favorites. I've actually never seen an A-10 in flight. They don't come to the Netherlands that often unfortunately.
This year the Dutch Airshow was at Gilze-Rijen AB and I rented a 7D and 100-400 for this day. Unfortunately the weather really sucked(grey is keyword) and the 7D was not working with me. (worse photos ever, 9/10 where very soft the other 1 was acceptably soft [:P]The 100-400 proved much better on my 5D even with it's slower AF, next time better) I shot on AV-mode because the weather and lightingconditions were changing constantly. There was 1 show where the camera didn't even focus at all since it was a plain grey sky with a plain grey plane in front of it [:O]
Also the flares seemed to be a big problem for the AF, everytime they used flares my AF flipped and I got nothing more than some nice bokeh [:P]
Anyway there are a few I want to show.
-Belgian F-16 solo display

400mm f5.6 ISO200 1/500
-Belgian F-16 solo display throwing some flares

400mm f5.6 ISO200 1/1600
-(Tsjechian or Hungarian) Saab Jas-39 Gripen solo display

400mm f5.6 ISO400 1/2500
- Dutch Apache and F-16 solo displays flying by together
http://www.fruityview.nl/tdp/airshow7.jpg
170mm f8 ISO100 1/250
-Dutch Apache solo displays first performance ever, shooting flares while making a looping
http://www.fruityview.nl/tdp/airshow1.jpg
300mm f5.6 ISO400 1/2500
-Dutch Eurocopter Cougar MKII carrying luggage for a troop deployment later on

235mm f6.3 ISO100 1/250
-Royal Jordanian Falcons

260mm f5.6 ISO100 1/400
Well I guess better luck next time!
Thanks for watching, all comments are welcome.

Re: Post your favorite Airplane shots
Great shots everyone!
Jan, going to the previous page, do they regularly blow up your country side at airshows? [:)]
Here are my 2 contributions of Marine 1 during Obama's time in Toronto for the G20. I can't seem to find my older aircraft shots[:(]

Well there's only one show nationwide and it's only 1 time a year, 2 days, but twice the same or almost the same program. There are 250.000 visitors when you sum up both days. And yes every year they blow stuff up. Of course these detonated explosions, but they are kind of big anyway. It's all part of a show called "Airpower Demo". It's a Dutch show where they stage the attack on enemy ground forces. So first there will be 2 "scout" F-16s flying across from both sides at maximum speed(of course they have to limit on these days [:P]) ...explosions... After that some apache choppers will cover ground...rounds of gunfire and explosions... Then Some troops and supplies get dropped by Cougars and Chinooks and "the enemy"gets arrested or whatever. After that a transportation plane, mostly Hercules, drops in to fly troops and equipment out. Choppers get out and at last the Apaches leave.
Anyway it's a pretty cool thing to watch with a lot of noise and big explosions, but I still prefer the solo-demos and teamdemonstrations.
It's also very very hard to get to the front to watch this all, because it's massively popular among children and really everyone else [:P]
http://www.fruityview.nl/tdp/airshow9.jpg
And I just wanted to show you guys this:
http://www.fruityview.nl/tdp/airshow8.jpg
There are a lot of people walking with amazing gear on these days. I mean a 100-400 isn't noticed anymore between all the big white lenses, but this one wasn't ignorable [:P]

Re: Post your favorite Airplane shots
Hi Jim,
Thanks for resurrecting this thread! I really liked your second photo, the contrast and resolution of the plane against that dark blue sky looks amazing. I had a Circular Polarizing filter with me but I didn't use it. I think I'll try it next year.
Did you have a chance to compare any shots with and without the filter? I struggled shooting into the bright sunlight most of the day.
Hi Jan,
Thanks for the comment as well. I liked your third (Jet-Wash) and the last two pictures best, surprisingly the gray skies in your last 2 shots works for me. I think the darker gray skies adds some mystery, as opposed to a light gray blown out sky. Did you play up the darker gray sky in post proceesing, because I like the effect.
I'm surprised that you had problems focusing with the 7D, besides the flare problems, perhaps there was a defect, or a setting miscue in the autofocus, because I have to say that my aouto focus hits on the 7D were about 95 out of 100 successful.

Nope all my photos are straight of camera since I can't really enjoy editing them [:P] The contrasty sky also works for me. Those 2 are about the only 2 photos the entire day where I didn't mind the grey sky [:#]

Yea well I'll never know cause it was a rental, but I my expectations where thrown down the drain that's for sure. Next year I'll probably rent a 100-400 or a 400mm+ prime on my 5D. And well I can't blame the camera for the flare-problem. I can imagine that happen, but it's annoying [:P] Anyway I'm up for some new photos!

Re: Post your favorite Airplane shots
jan, i like the shots you took with the gray sky, especially the couger and the jordanians, the dark and light really sets off the contrast and gives it an eerie aura that i really like.[;)]
mike, your 2nd shot of marine one is great[:P], i love the sniper team on the roof in the background, lets you know its really obama in the blackhawk.
richard..thanks for the praise [:D], that B-25 shot is one of my favorites from that days shooting, i shot a whole string of him flying by, and that one was the best shot by far, and no, i didnt take the polarizer off all morning i was there, so i didnt have a chance to compare, but, depending on which way i was facing in the sky relative to the suns position, the sky changed shades quite drastically, and that was without me rotating my filter, but i agree, the dark blue sky definatly lookes great behind the B-25.

Re: Post your favorite Airplane shots
That's quite classy of that guy with the big lens. He might as well hire a guy to hold it up for him haha.
Thanks jim! I was talking with RCMP officers about sniper teams and he told me they were all over the place and that he would give me $20 if I could find 5 of them... I searched for a while from inside the building where I took the Marine1 shots (9th floor overlooking the convention centre) and only found 2 after like an hours worth of shooting and viewing...
I love the flex in the rotorblades in the shots as well, it stands out more in the 1st one. It continues to amaze me how strong and amazing aeronautical stuff is... tear...

It's actually an 800mm on a 1Ds3. He was handholding it all the time...but I still think most of the times 800mm was a bit too long. Especially with the hazy sky ruining the more distant shots. I'm thinking of renting a 400 or 500mm prime next year. That focal distance should be great for 9/10 shots...
Btw I didn't even notice the Sniper team the first time I saw the picture...[A]

Re: Post your favorite Airplane shots
I'll see if I can find/remember the picture that had the other team in it and I'll post it up too.

Re: Post your favorite Airplane shots
My favorite Airplane shot is this one for sure. We live relatively close to an airport so some days the flight path is pretty close to our house. This image was captured with my 40D + EF 100-400mm from my back yard. =)

Hey Rod,
Those pics are awesome! I picked out my favorites above and I especially love the first one, with that High Speed Pass.., breaking the sound barrier and creating all of that vapor. The blue angels look great too, with very true blue and yellow colors and that beautiful blue sky. The only thing I would add, would be to leave a little more space in front of the planes when you crop or compose the shot.

Re: Post your favorite Airplane shots
Sheiky, thanks and glad u liked the picts...Ive been to 3 great air shows this year and keep missin this shot bad because of weather and just being so into the show i forgot to set up my cam for the shot lol...This was by far the best airshow ive ever been to and we went to virginia beach on wed and the whole week was just a lot of fun with all the jets flying arround the beach and a lot of navy ships crusin by (even got to see a aircraft carrier go by ).. My only complaint besides the traffic lol was i wanted to see the f-22 raptor demo so bad but when the f-22 started its demo it made 1 pass and just flew off,they later told us the jet hade 2 warrning lights come on in the cock pit so for safty they hade to fly back to there base..Oh well better to be safe i guess theres allways next year lol..Then did i night show on fri night at sunset that was amazing and on sat night on the beach did a f-18 superhornet full on afterburner fly by that was just cool ( i got picts of it but i had a lot of noise in the picts because it was dark out ) ill post 1 see what ya think... once again thanks and glad u enjoyed the picts Rod

Sounds like you saw quite some action. Very cool. I'm curious to the sunset-shots. I imagine they are hard to shoot, but I like the idea.

Wow Dan! That airshow looks very cool and a whole lot different than the one Rod went to. I absolutely love the big formation of props. I like all those props. They show so much action which is a lot harder to capture on a jetfighter. Very nice, thanks for showing.

Sorry Rod, I never saw these shots untill now. I really like the lighting on the F-18s. Those nightpictures are pretty cool! Love to do something like that sometime.
Anyway, let's kick some life into this thread again. Last weekend I visited the Dutch Air Force show in Leeuwarden. It was great, we had very nice weather(unlike pretty much every other year)
I had rented the 400mm f2.8L and it was simply awesome. Enough talking, here are 4 shots that I quickly selected. Hopefully more will follow later on.

<div style="text-align: left;"]I really like this shot! I am now on a mission to get this same composition, only with the Blue Angels. They practice about an hour from my house twice a week, so if I can pull away, I am going to try and capture it. They make this same pass during every practice, At my previous house, they flew directly over my back yard at very low altitude, so low that you could see the pilot in the cockpit. I stood on a ladder once and waved enthusiastically at him, and he tipped/wagged his wings as he passed over. It was fantastic. </div>

Re: Post your favorite Airplane shots
Great shots Jan, I especially love the glowing engine and open bomb doors on that Belgian f-16. The colors, contrast and sharpness look great!
What a great combo between the 400mm f/2.8 and the 5DII.

Blue Angels performing at the Navy Pier. We were in Hancock Tower and didn't know they were performing. That's the (former) Sears Tower in the background. Right place, right time, wrong lens.

Thunderbirds at Joint Service Open House (Andrews AFB). I've been trying to get some decent air show shots for the last 15 years -- tough, if you don't go often. The 70-200 works if you're up front.

Old school Thunderbirds. I had the group of model planes hanging from my ceiling when I was 6 or 7 back in the 70

It's hard to make out but, it's the shuttle (orbiter) in november 2009. The second to last launch. I love this picture because it brings me back to the experience.
