Looking over my files I didn't realize I had this shot  of a Beautiful Mustang  taken at the Planes of Fame last year here in Chino Cal. I shot this with my Leica 350 mm 4.8 on a Nikon D600

What I find particularly noteworthy is that the above images ( as well as some of your previous airplane photos ) all seem to share the common characteristic of appearing to have been taken from another airplane accompanying and flying alongside your subjects, as opposed toimages taken by a ground-base observer.

Would love to know how you accomplish this, because in my view that's the element largely responsible for elevating your photos from mere reportage to beautiful & effective portraits.

Thank you for such kind words. The secret in getting good aerial  pictures of plans at air shows  is to certainly use a  telephoto lens at around 300-400  helps. Usually when they fly over they will bank and that's when you want to  take their pictures.. By being in a bank that puts the plane on an angle that gives you the effect that you are up there with them. Simply  elementary😋

 

I always set my camera on manual and at infinity , never like using auto focus when shooting into  the sky , it ends up hunting.

This is what you normally see at an  air shows  when they are coming   in low. Two  Thunderbolts P47"s  making a pass close by.
