Don't doubt your ability. Your pictures show power and beauty in these aircraft. Some of the best pictures I have seen.

darn hell John,that's praise indeed.i thank you..I love aviation photography,it's the only type I do tbh.im still learning.like I said earlier,I get a lot of bad photos,but I'm learning where I went wrong.
I'm only using a Nikon d3300 entry level til I get more experience.my airshow lens is a sigma 150-600
I still Get frustrated at thinking I've got fab shots,to get home and find I've 2 keepers out of 300 photos.but,I guess even pros get some bad shots..at least that's what I tell my self.lol

Nobody puts their poor photos on the Internet, they delete them anyway! It is not your equipment that determines how good your work is, it's the person behind the camera. Many photos show planes sitting on a runway but you have shown real power in the air. Just be glad you don't have to buy film any more like many of the older members did. Just keep at it.you have ability

Nice shots Daz, Only tip i would give is to watch out for those pesky dust spots cased by a dirty sensor. Easily removed in photoshop etc but you'll eventually end up with so many that the sensor will need cleaning.

Thank you all

Nothing to critique there. Pretty much a dream debut. 'The boy done good'.

Cracking shots

It does help if the subject has beautiful special schemes

My local Marham doesn't quite live up to the Ukrainian Flanker although one of the Tonka's has a RAF 100 sticker!

The tornado has long been my favourite by far..it's gonna be a sad day when they are all gone.i do like the f35,it's technology cannot be refuted,but...it just doesn't have that menacing powerful look like the tonka.

Don't even get me started on the RAF efforts to celebrate raf100. Lol
