Heidelburg Airshow 14 May 2011

Saturday 14th May 2011 was a fun day out where I got to test out photographing an Airshow. The organizers arranged a special for the photographic clubs and gave us an exclusive spot along the runway. On arrival each of the 180 registered photographers were issued with a Bright Orange Hi-Vis vest in order to comply with safety regulations. At 9h00 we had a safety meeting and then the fun began. As I have never before shot an Airshow I was really having to think out of the box and go beyond my comfort zones. Luckily the organizer gave us a few tips about catching moving propellers and shutter speeds for that. The pictures that follow are my first attempt at Airshow photography.
