Blue Angels Break

A tight formation of Blue Angels begins a break routine.
 
Air show photography tip: Know the show. If you know the show routine, you will know what shots to be attempting. In this case, a tight formation of F-18s is breaking out - be ready to zoom out to keep all planes in the frame. Then focus on one particular plane for additional shots. Show routines can sometimes be found on the Internet (try Wikipedia for the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds air show demonstration routines).
