David, what was your shutter speed to catch the prop blur in the Corsair shot? Nice rebate on the 24-70.

Doug, with most of the planes, 1/60th would give you good blur, but with the Corsair I had to go down to about 1/15th of a second at times. Most of the guys around me who do this stuff all the time said usually between 1/30th to 1/60th. It was a lot like shooting birds in flight really. The jets were as fast a speed as you could get, usually over 1/1000th of a second.
Great photography is not about being in the right place at the right time, it is about putting yourself in the right place at the right time.

Thanks. I have not been to an airshow since the Confederate Air Force in Harlingen, TX in the early 80's. Hopefully again. Jay Beckman's aviation photography is nice and I see a lot of his images on my facebook feed.

This was my first since about 1990! Those guys who do it often are really good. The keeper/delete ratio is scary but I was pleased.

Exif on the F4u says 1/100. Either way, nice shots. You must be a pretty good wing shot to go that slow and get sharp shots.

ChrisF, that is correct it is 1/100th. It isn't a full prop rotation though. In order for the full rotation, it would require about 1/30th or slower. That shot would be a "throw away" if I wanted to submit it for some publication of aviation photography. Fortunately, I don't do anything in that industry! I should have phrased my response above to say "in order to get a full rotation, I had to go to". Thanks.
