The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

Lots of great info here...ditto on most!
1.Also, it doesnt matter what camera you have. A large part depends on the photographer. I feel its such a waste when folks buy a mid level Canon or Nikon, only to shoot in auto modes and never to venture in Av or shutter priority or P modes. A point and shoot would have served them better. IN other words, again, LEARN the camera.
2. Be open to criticism and enjoy the diversity the hobby has to offer. A HUGE Kudos to Eric who leads in this arena, transitioning from Air to portraits to tennis to horseracing.
3. Dont be afraid to find your own style. I know this hobby began with 50mm side on shots and I'm been known to rip others for only shooting side ons.. I don't love these but enjoy 3/4 angles.
But who am I to rip anyone else? Our individual styles is partially what brings this community together.
4. To echo Cary, yes, I feel its pretty deplorable to be asked to pay for a photo op and then have to kowtow for how I might use them.. The younger kids here won't understand this, but y'all can KISS MY GRITS.
5. Check that damn ISO. blur and wrong ISO are irreparable.
I know I have more but im hot and cranky right now.
THanks to you all so much over the years for sharing the knowledge
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

1. Never shoot in Automatic. I shot the whole airshow in manual.
2. take your camera everywhere
3. Actually today I learned its ok to shoot at ISO 1600.
It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

Remember to always have charged batteries with you as backup and to make sure the ones in your camera is charged...... Also always reformat your cards......
I took about 7000 RAW shots from the airshow weekend and still going threw them....
I think will order a tanker truck full of HOT coffee....
I tried manual one day at LAS and never looked back. Much better results. You have to work harder but it sure pays off.I shot the whole airshow in manual.
