Beautiful shots. Like the aspect you were able to include the clouds in the background. Mahalo for sharing.

A great photo - you nailed the exposure and the focusing but you missed one important factor of photographing an aircraft with a propellor: You used to fast a shutter speed and "froze" the propellor. If you keep the shutter speed to 1/250 or slightly slower, you will get the proper blur in the prop that shows that the engine is still running. In most prop airplanes, if you pan with aircraft when you take the picture, you do not need an extremely fast shutter speed. I realize this is a small point but as a retired pilot the picture looks like the plane has just experienced engine failure and that makes me a little uncomfortable.
This plane was probably not going much faster than 80 mph since it was still climbing and by using even 1/125 as a shutter speed, you could have a perfect picture. If you are taking photos of fast moving jets that is the time to use a faster shutter speed. Keep up the good work.

Great shots. Looks like Wings & Wheels at the Owl's Head Museum - were you the one with the 500mm lens that I briefly chatted with. You put my Sony a6000 with the 210mm at full extension to shame.
Thank you very much, cdayton; yes, these were taken at Owls Head, but in August of this year.

Thank you very much, Shaun; I usually try to to do that, and I need to work on that more. I offer the attached photo as an apology.
