Stunning! I'm off to see the Red Arrow display team next week. I'll be happy if I can get a shot half as good as this :-)

Most admirable capture! Appearances suggest a 90 degree flip which adds impact to the overall scene!

Holly molly. Can't believe how impressive this is. I mean we see so many of these airshow shots but this so far surpasses anything I've ever seen. Just amazing Tarantella!

Awesome capture! I started out in photography as a kid where airshows were my favourite places, this just blows away the hundreds of shots I ever took. Perfect work :)

I'm stunned by the sharpness at this low shutter speed. Another thing. Did you flip the image on it side? Masterpiece!

Location
UK, Farnborough Air Show , July 2008Time
Picture taken during afternoon hours , weather mostly cloudy with some sunny spells.Lighting
Air show photography is pretty much opportunistic. This shot , that year, that particular air show has been my very best photo-wise thanks to the dramatic sky with very changeable weather that day (sunny spells through very dark, rainy clouds)Equipment
Canon EOS 50D , lens Sigma f 2,8 70-200Inspiration
I am a fan of air shows obviously :)Editing
Cropping to the square shape, rotating the image 90 degrees to add some more drama in composition and slight levels adjustment.In my camera bag
A bit of everything really as I am a typical opportunistic photographerFeedback
Crucial skill to master in this subject - learning of proper panning . Learn to smoothly follow fast moving object.
