Stopping Motion with Moving Vehicle or Aircraft Photography

For full size planes I’m using around 1/250 for the models I’m closer to 1/500 adjusting iso to count for lighting and wide open for the background

Have u ever heard of panning as the subject passed u get it fairly sharp because u follow it while the background is rushing by causing motion blur

At an airshow in Colorado Springs last September I was shooting ISO 400, with a shutter speed of 1/160th to get prop blur but showing the plane in sharp focus.

That’s an amazing shot, James!

In addition to several good suggestions already offered, if panning, you might want to use your camera's burst mode. As in sports, be sure to follow through on your pan.

Thaz the only reply so far that 100% matches my extensive experience. But others have other experiences. Anywho, looks to me like a perfect set of starting settings and then modify if needed.

You should do a viral yootoob of it.

Here are 2 shots of Top Fuel dragsters shot at 1/17th with a 400mm lens.
This also plays on the continuous frame shooting. I put the Nikon on continuous frames and held the shutter down the whole way from beginning to end of the strip.

Hey Silverman, It would be best to learn/master the “exposure triangle”.
Google it, you’ll find explanations and cheat sheets on the very basics of photography (the triangle).

To practice, sit out front of your house, or at a highway and shoot a lot of photos. If some come out great, that setting is what you need. It will depend on the light, time of day, speed of the vehicle and ability of the camera & lens. Have fun. It is the best learning opportunity.
Sage advice. It works well for this and similar types of exposures.
FTW, for cars going about 30mph I start shooting at 1/125 and adjust from there depending on the results. A plane
pic would be much faster SS.

I use about 1/30 sec and pick a spot to pan on keeping that spot in one place. This should show the moving object sharp with the background blurred lines.

There are zero correct versions of the triangle anywhere online.

Unless that plane has a propeller.
