F15 with a 50mm. You heard me right.

This weekend, at the airshow, I took some shots of the thunderbirds, and the Golden Knights, and eventually I got interested in taking shots of the people. Well, would you know my luck, I found myself with a 50mm f/1.8 on my camera when the F15 took off. It was too late to rush to my bag and grab my 300mm. I just fired of the camera in 1/6400s shutter priority and hoped something would be crop-able. Needless to say, I cropped this shot and I really like it. Yes, I know, there is vignetting. This is in part due to polarisation effect, but also because of the numerous step up rings nescessary for my cokin system (I left the screw on CP at home). The image quality isn't great, but for f/1.8 and being shot at 50mm I am quite impressed. I want some general feedback on the "feel" though.

Well...thats...awesome...!

Love the detail of the flames coming out of the engines. To me its a keeper.

I would like to see the uncropped one. Nice photo. I have to wait until next month for my air show

I actually kind of like the vignetting. I'm guessing you cropped quite a bit off the right side since it doesn't happen as much there.

I would maybe darken the upper right side sky a bit as right now it looks blown out compared to the rest of the photo.

When I saw F15, I was thinking incorrect capitalization (aka aperture), not the plane. I seriously need to take a break from photography for a bit.
