Hello Dario! Nice pictures. I did try some of that in the past. I think that the biggest problem, given you don't have any technical problem (as a photographer, I mean) is that the planes are usually rather far and thus saturation of the images is less then optimal.
Airshows are usually held in summer, though. If it were a nice december morning the air would certainly be much clearer... but I'm sure you can do something about it in digital postprocessing. The other problem (of the same category) is that it's unlikely that you'll be able to shoot any photo against a different background than the sky, so the images end up being a bit dull and difficult to relate to those incredible stunts you actually see. I mean, if you publish a photo of an upside-down plane flying, there is not much difference if you just flipped over the image of a normal trajectory... When they're using smoke things are a bit easier because you can show the trajectories. Last comment: there are some aerobatics in which they all meet in the same spot (at different heights, of course...), if you manage to shoot that, it looks quite funny/impressive (depending on your opinion on such kind of things). On this kind of things you don't want thing to become TOO interesting, believe me...

Anyone else? Do you see major mistakes to get rid of the next time? Thanks for commenting.
