I love watching the Red Arrows and wanted to capture the essence of their amazing aerial displayEditing

Nikon D5100 with Nikkor 55-300mm telephoto lens is my favourite but I also use a Nikon J2 with 10-30mm lens for more wide angle shots and a Nikon Coolpic P900 is handy as it is highly versatile with massive 83x zoom (I didn't yet own that one when I got this shot though). I have an Olympus TG-1 for underwater shots and also when the weather's really wet. I always carry spare batteries and SD cards. I sometimes take my monopod or tripod and I have filters and macro equipment I occasionally take.Feedback
To be honest I'm not very experienced at this type of photography, but I tend to use aperture priority on my camera a lot as it isolates the subject well and gives nice DOF.
