RIAT 18th July

My first time at an air show with a camera to hand. Here are a few of my picks... Any critque is hugely appreciated as always

 

[DAZMAN32]

Good first attempt.
No. 1 longer lens needed.
No. 2 slower shutter speed to get rotor blur.
No. 3 clipped probe and under exposed.
No. 4 panning practise needed.
No. 5 Great shot well done.
Sorry if it seems harsh but as with everything it gets easier.

Damned good results for a first effort, well done. 8.5/10.
Maybe don't try so hard next time, might even enjoy it more.

Disagree with critique of shot 3 (Exposure). Any more would have burnt out the re-heat shock waves and smoke trails.
But as always, subjective and a compromise.

Cheers for the critique guys! Shooting with a 300mm prime + extender prove tricky.. I'd have rented the 100-400 MkII if it was available, I may have been able to get a bit closer to the subject and not have to swing an almight 300 around! There were times I'd actually have difficulty finding the jets in the sky... ! Anyway, feedback is of course very appreciated - thank you.
