Virginia Beach Oceana Airshow

The sky was not the best, but I got a few good shots of the static displays. I'm still working on the air shots. The grey sky and grey planes do not make the best photo, but what can you do.

C&C welcome.

Good shots, but in #8 they both had flat tires on the left side?

Woops. I meant to correct that in post. I'll have to make a change. haha

You asked for C&C so here goes. You have cut off various bits of the aircraft in a most of the shots, wingtips, pitot probes and tailplanes. A static shot, unless its a close-up of a particular area needs to have the whole aircraft in it in my opinion. Also, and I know it can be difficult, but the people in the shots in front of the aircraft are distracting, especially shot #7. Had you waited a few moments they would have been out of shot. The shot of the T-6 with the cover on the cockpit doesn't work at all for me as the cover hides the important detail of the cockpit. Hope that this helps you in the future. Look forward to seeing your shots of them in the air!

Thanks for posting - nice to see some statics that were at the show - they often get overlooked by the photogs on here.

. . . nice series, apart from critic already mentioned !!

Man what is it with Oceana? Crappy weather last year with barely anyone going up, now this year? I'm glad I canceled my plans last minute even though I love the area.

Thanks for posting, this is the first year in a long time that I didn't attend any airshows.
