Air Show Photography
There’s a good article over on Photo.net about [Air Show Photography](Epson Stylus Photo R2400 Experience Report).
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.
The article includes good tips about preparing for your photography in the days leading up to the air show, how to cooperate with security in a post-9/11 world, techniques for shooting aircraft both on the ground and in the air, tips on people photography during an air show, focus and metering advice, and specific advice for both film and digital shooters.
The great images liberally scattered throughout the article should give you plenty of motivation to get out there and give air show photography a go!
