Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Fozzie, one has great composition and colours. Very nice, could be a tad sharper but you take what you can get at such shows. I could see that as a book cover :D

Glen - what I have learnt from this Airshow and at my time in life, it is best to have a Tripod with Full Gimbal or equivalent and a long prime, preferably f/2.8. My Nikkor 300mm f/4 with TC-14EII would have been better served if it was a clear blue sky on the day. Unfortunately you can not order the weather. Next time I will take more time off from work and go on 2 days to get the right conditions. Better still, will have purchased a longer fast prime.

Thank you for your comments, and I am too very happy with shot 1.

#1 is my pick too

However, there seems to be a bit of noise in the pics, or am I just seeing things?

Sorry if i seem a little picky, aviation images is one of my hobbies

No 1 is great, but for me, the Globemaster shot is superb - can't explain why, but the comp really brings out the size of the aircraft! Well done.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

cordy - I personally think it is a combination of issues, some noise and not totally sharp from the start. I just liked the composition of the shot and thought I would share it with other members on the board. As mentioned before, I found the light on Saturday to be very hard to work with, together with the speed of some aircraft.

As to be being picky, not a problem, it is still a free country to voice your opinion.

I must admit I was somewhat selective in when I shot at the airshow as well, very difficult conditions on the saturday to not only shoot but keep your gear dry. Wish I had something like your setup with the 300mm + TC, I found 300mm was just not long enough for a lot of the shots I was attempting
