Photo of the Day - Wing Walker - Air Show Photo Tips

Air Shows are a lot of fun to photograph, but they can also be quite a challenge to photograph due to the speed of the planes. A few things you can do is use a higher ISO, fast shutter speed and panning to capture the planes in flight. While this plane wasn't flying anywhere near the speed of the jets, I used an ISO of 400, a shutter speed of 1/1600 of a second, and panned the camera as the plane flew by. It was taken with a 70-200mm F2.8 Nikon lens with a 1.7 teleconverter. This is a husband and wife wing walking team. What I like about the photo is the pose of the Wing Walker and the way the pilot's hat is blowing behind his head. The Air Show comes to Cleveland every year over the Labor Day weekend. Check it out if you get a chance.
