Join Darkroomers for a full day of photography at the Miramar Air Show. This is an all-day event, but you are welcome to stay for as much or as little of the day as you like.
The air show offers plenty of opportunities to photograph fast-moving aircraft, aerial demonstrations, and displays on the ground. For the best chance of filling the frame with aircraft in flight, bring your longest lens. A 500–600mm lens is ideal, but don’t let that stop you if you don’t own one. You can rent a longer lens for the day or simply bring the longest lens you have.
What to bring:
- Your camera and longest telephoto lens
- Extra batteries and memory cards
- Water and sunscreen
- A monopod, if you have one (tripods are not permitted)
- A blanket for sitting on the pavement, or a portable chair or stool
- For a list of acceptable and prohibited items, click here.
General admission is free, including the open “blanket” seating areas on the pavement. Reserved grandstand seating is also available for purchase through miramarairshow.com.
Plan to arrive early. Gates open at 8:00 AM. The Miramar Air Show is a large and busy event, so it may be difficult for everyone to meet in one place once we are inside. On the day of the event, please use the Darkroomers Slack channel or text messages to connect with other members who are attending.
Come prepared for a long day outdoors, lots of action, and some rewarding photography opportunities.
