Boston-Portsmouth Airshow, NH

[blueedge]

A few weeks back in late August I was fortunate enough to go to the Boston-Portsmouth Air Show in New Hampshire. The stars of the show were the Blue Angels and they were the main reason I went myself having not seen them before.

This was my first time shooting with a Canon 100-400mm which I'd recently purchased for this and for some wildlife photography.

I originally posted this in the Boats, Planes and Trains forum last week but it received no responses, so I thought I'd put it in here as I wouldn't mind some feedback on the shots.

You have far too many photos there for me to want to offer any meaningful critique. Choose one or maybe two shots, and you'll get better responses if you want feedback.

FWIW you have not metered correctly on most of the aircraft so they are far too dark on my monitor at that resolution. Choose centre weighted or spot in future.

I wasn't sure of the etiquette on here with regards to posting pictures. I've chopped down the quantity but I wanted to have a range of shots so that more critique might be offered.

Metering is my weakness as I've not made sufficient effort to learn it thus far. At this particular airshow in the afternoon the sun had moved from a perfect position in the morning to being behind the display line, hence the aircraft being so dark and I should have as you said metered correctly to take this into account. Thank you for the feedback.
