Nice. You've captured the prop blurs just right -- that is how it SHOULD be done. Thanks.

Every shot is a prize position. The pan shots show just how good you are especially hand held with a lot of weight.
I was surprised how sharp the pictures are since you had a 2X extender on the lens.
Brilliant set.

Great shots Paul.
Really like how you froze the planes and kept the props spinning.
Very impressive. The information in the captions also helps to add to the wow factor. Not just great images but a story to fill in the gaps.

Thank you Bill! I've done the tent camping now for two consecutive years. Honestly, I'd never heard of the EAA event until the Spring 2018 and registering for my first visit. Things are probably both remarkably different and exactly the same in 30 years.
