Start off by photographing close-up shots of the airplanes. Although the above photo are so common and boring, it’s important to have a few in your collection. Photographing these types of photos is easy, just zoom in and shoot. Leave some room around the airplane so that you can crop the photo afterwards.Photo snap from my Lumix LX3.

If you are using a DSLR, make sure that your focus is set to one of the AI or automatic modes so that it tracks the airplanes and keep it in focus. You also want to ensure that your aperture is small enough to capture all the details.For point and shoot, compact, or other types of digital cameras with a small sensor, you can get away with using a larger aperture. The smaller your sensor, the more depth of field you will get. This means that you won’t have to worry about the airplane not being in focus.

Finally, don’t forget to enjoy the show. In events such as an air show, many photographers are so focused at photographing the airshow that they forget to enjoy the show for themselves. Once you’ve got your photo, look away from your camera and watch the show.
