With bonus Super Hornet shot. This was my first real airshow (other than the rather piddly Eden Prairie Air Expo, where all they do is fly straight and level down the runway...), and I definitely plan to do more next summer. I need to practice my panning and work on the exposure a bit as well, but let me know what you think.

All great shots, well framed and very sharp. It's a shame about the lighting, did not look like you had the best weather.

I think you did well on the first and last shot.

I think the lack of lighting in #4 gives that shot a nice feel. I have a similar shot of the T-birds.

Almost never see the sneek attack captured with the diamond. #2 is excellent but they are all a bit dark, probably my laptop.

Its not your laptop, I didn't quite get the exposure correct. The F-16 was even darker :(

Most people don't realize how hard shooting is at an airshow. You have forever changing lighting. You did well. I always shoot RAW so I can compensate later.
