Before noonLighting
This day light was terrible. Cloudy day with a bit of humid but anyway I was surprised that so many pictures came out nice.Equipment
Taken with my Canon 5d Mark III, and 300mm f/2.8 lens.Inspiration
It was nice trip from NYC. I traveled to visit our friend in CT so it was good chance to visit them on my way to RI. Air show is one of a kind experience, it's amazing to see all this talented pilots in big machines and feel this power and noise.Editing

I usually carry camera with Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8.. truly recommend this lensFeedback
In high speed you are able to catch the moment but real fun begins when you don't want to freeze propellers. Using a super fast shutter speed will freeze propellers and rotors, something that does not look good in aviation photos so try lower your speed (it can vary, between 1/125 and 1/500) to get a sharp image that just shows a slight blur on the moving parts. As you see I gave up for a moment and took it in high speed at 1/1600, but will try my best next time :-)
