They look awfully good to me. Maybe a bit of exposure PP would help. As a OMD Em-10 devotee, I have to defend the camera.

Thank you, Mark! I have a few non-moving close ups I'm super pleased with. Now that I have two smallish M4/3's maybe I can learn to hold one in each hand

I enjoyed these very much, Linda, especially the last two. They really show how low those guys fly! I'll bet that pilot would love to have copies of those pictures!


Thank you, CathyAnn. Maybe I'll ask around the farms as to who was flying that day!

Linda, your third photo is outstanding! Well done! I'm sure the pilot would love to have that photo on his wall!


Thank you so much, Bill. I might have to track him down :)

Fantastic series of getting the moving plane, Linda. I think #3 tells the whole story,seeing the chemical dust covering the plants with the plane flying over. I love the background, showing the foothills(?) mountains(?)--gives a nice perspective.

Thank you very much, Carla! Yeah, they're just hills. Around here you have to be 5,000' and over to classified mountain.

The below photo is of the same long stretch; I can't find a name for them on Google maps, though there must be one

I happened to be on a little airstrip in my native home town in Texas when a crop duster landed. As he taxied in and parked for his reload I noticed cotton stalks in his landing gear. I started to pull them out when I heard the pilot yelling, "Don't pull those out!! I leave them there in case people don't think I get low enough."

It's a long boring story, but besides the Panasonic with 14-140 mm, I now also have an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II M4/3 with Olympus M.Zuiko 75-300mm

This combo will be for more distant and moving subjects and the crop duster gave me quite the workout! These are definitely not as sharp as the non-moving dandelion close-up I used as test yesterday

Shutter priority at 1/1000 sec, auto-ISO, edits from raw.

Thanks for viewing!

Thank you, Merry! I have a silhouette of him against a sky of puffy clouds too, plus coming in over buildings. When I first arrived, he apparently was in the process of changing directions or fields, so he came at me from several compass points

Thank you! This morning I got a chance to try my panning skills on a bald eagle
