In this video, I teach you how to photograph aircraft. Basic to Advanced techniques. Jets and Propeller aeroplanes!
Photographing fast-moving subjects can be quite an intimidating and often scary process, but it needn't be. If you have a basic understanding of how your camera works then photographing fast-moving jets and propeller aircraft can be a straightforward process. It's probably much easier than you think!
New to aviation photography? fear not, I've got you covered!
This tutorial is geared for all standards of photographers. I cover the basics. All you'll need to know to get you up and running as a novice. The later part of my tutorial is geared around the more experienced camera user.
Even if you think you've got all the bases covered, I'm sure if you watch my video, you might be surprised!
I offer tips at the end of the video too. My tips are there to help your strike rate improve when in the field.
Enjoy the video and feel free to leave a comment

The last one about story telling... You are so damn right. *it hit close to home. I always zoom max in to get every detail of the plane (like i will use them for models or something) But i find my pictures rather boring because yes i got a stunning picture close up of the F-16's and such but the landscape are gone. So in other words my pictures dont tell a story which is a shame now i think of it even more. So thank you!

Thank you very much for this follow up video discussing your advice for settings. We recently went to the RAF Airshow at Cosford and it was the first time I had taken my DSLR so I was experimenting with this type of photography for the first time. I obviously had a lot of duffers but got quite a few which I was happy with more by adjusting settings as a I was going along rather than knowing the best ones to use. Your instructions are really helpful and you always explain things in a simple to understand fashion which is really good for less experienced enthusiasts like me.

I am planning to go up there very soon and have passed through a couple of weeks ago but I was touring on my motorcycle. I like to go up to RAF Valley first, stop a night or two then come down and stop off at the Mach Loop. On this trip, I pulled into the layby at the bottom and suddenly somebody shouts " there are two F15's coming! " It was just an incredible experience and the noise :). The jets came round and did another pass. I think that you are just great to watch and your tips are just exactly what I want; no all the way round the "Wrekin" and back again. Many thanks for all the advice about actually going there and how to do it; brilliant!

Think I’ll prioritise shutter speed mode for sure

I just recently retired and I have been an "AUTO" photographer just about all my life. A friend told me if I want to be a real photographer that need move the dial from "A" to "M". It has been fun yet frustrating at the same time. But I have been pleased with my progress! Your video has simplified so much when it comes to photos! Thank you so much explaining thinks in a understandable way. On the east side of town we have a military base and the west side of town has an airport. I am so ready for the 2024 airshow season!!!

@javm2825 10 ай бұрын

One of the other tips that I live by is that for handheld or photography where you are moving quickly (Monopod)(I shoot a lot of Motorcycle racing) setting shutter priority and making your shutter speed an inverse of your max zoom this avoids you blurring due to an unstable platform. So for example if you put your 150-500 lens on, then set your shutter to 1/500th As you get more stable you can start to cut into the speed a little but it is a good starting place.

I really must have a trip to the Mach Loop if only to complete the story telling of the Typhoons I photograph at RAF Coningsby, my local air base. Right there with you on shutter priority for this and hearing my camera protest when I take it off full manual from my landscapes. Good video and great images.
