Air Show in Rome, GA

I know it was probably impossible under the circumstances but it would have been great if both jets were in focus as that would have been an exceptional shot.

Agreed, I should have used 1/8000 and high ISO. Maybe this year

They were bookin', though.

Nice shot, terrific timing! Personally, (and having having shot a few air shows) I like the blur. It gives some motion to the image.

Actually I would like even more motion blur.

Great shot and timing! One more positive element of the photo is that you have stopped the aircraft that shows the upside. FYI even 1/8000 doesn't freeze both aircrafts when we talk about F-16s or other fast jets. It surely gives a better result if you're interested in having a more well defined second plane but it doesn't freeze it. I have attached 2 images with 1/8000 from RAF Hawks if you would like to see what the results look like. Not the best images, but I don't have any other examples in this PC right now...

The 2nd image can be seen here: post your shots of the airplanes - Page 76 - PentaxForums.com
