Spent the last week prepping for the annual air show... this is the first year I actually attended the thing so watched a few Youtube videos for hints re: aircraft photography... discovered I need to work on my panning and that for prop planes, 1/125 should get a full "prop circle" which looks nice. Several of the prop planes last weekend had "were props"... that is, the props can't be photographed at 1/125; they disappear. And, yeah, I'm not too proud to use an occasional free cloud download to rug over a bald or sparse background.
These were all shot with a 70-200 f/2.8. The first two days I used a 200-500 and appreciated the reach, but most images were a tad soft due to my poor panning at that focal length, and 30mph winds beating on my back. I'll work on those images when there's time...

Well done Stephen. I take it that this is the air show put on by the WWII Museum held at the Lakefront Airport. I used to go every year when I lived in N.O. It was a wonderful air show. Like your images.
