Another of the topics Alisdair discussed in his Zoom workshops was this one and he offered a wide range of suggestions on how to make photos more appealing by not just capturing "square on" shots. Ideas included: Head-on shots IMG_8368 by CJBospix, on Flickr fsOV7B8033-1 by CJBospix, on Flickr Multiple aircraft fsOV7B5256 by CJBospix, on Flickr Including people or re-anactors to give perspective fs60-5D by CJBospix, on Flickr Smoke and flares fsOV7B8390 by CJBospix, on Flickr Sunset shots fs178-5D by CJBospix, on Flickr Prop or rotor blur fsOV7B5702 by CJBospix, on Flickr Pay attention and follow the aircraft - it might just do something interesting!

As most of you know I live near Shuttleworth so I tend to take more photos of planes with props rather than jets . Taking photos of a plane with a prop is a compromise between getting and sharp shot and still giving the sense of movement . Vibration reduction can sometimes help but I find my monopod is my best friend in these situations along with lots of practice . Here are a few examples 1. Sea Hurricane Hawker Sea Hurricane 1b by Daren Eaton, on Flickr 2. Pitts Special Pitts S-2AE Special, G-STUI by Daren Eaton, on Flickr 3. Scottish Aviation Bulldog Scottish Aviation Bulldog 122 G-BCUS by Daren Eaton, on Flickr

I had not thought to use a monopod to help with panning at slow shutter speeds. Certainly you achieve much better results than I ever do!
