Post your favorite Airplane shots

[Dan Fleming]

I don't know if we have a sub-set of the community that has taken pictures of planes at airshows and the like. I would be interested in seeing your pictures if you have. I unfortunately have not had the chance, yet.


I am going to Oshkosh this summer for the airshow there to take pictures, which I will post when I get them, till then lets see yours!

Heyy! I havent been to any airshows but i live ded close to an airport so every now and again i go down there and take some shots I tend to prefer shooting in black and white because it shows off the reflections in thefuselagebetter.

I've shot thousands. My son love air shows. He is the main reason I even own the 100-400.


Here's a few. I should have used a slower shutter on the P-51.

excellent photos everyone! I went to an airshow at Duxford (UK) a couple of years back and have some photos... I'll see if I can dig them up.

Here's a few of mine:

And, a couple of mine. The first is an HDR of an old T-28C.





And this one is from an airplane as opposed to of one.

And now to throw a technical question at all of you. As I mentioned, I want to go to Oshkosh this summer to the airshow there. I don't know what conditions will be as in distance etc. I currently don't own anything longer than 150mm, so I am looking to use it as an excuse for glass. the 100-400L is a little pricey, but I might be able to stretch to it, other wise Sigma has 150-500, 100-300 f/4, 120-400. The 1-300 doesn't have IS/OS. So, I have a set of questions:


1)what focal lengths do you find yourselves using? maxxed out to 400, or closer in?


2) do you sit at wide open, or tend to stop down a little?


3) Is IS a big factor in your shooting?





Thanks guys
