I went as low as 1/400 (electronic shutter to keep my frame rate up) on a few shots (not shared here), but since I was shooting at 600mm equivalent (handheld), which I rarely do, they didn't turn out as sharp as the others. Even at 1/400 there wasn't as much blur as I would of liked, which means shooting at 1/250, which probably would have resulted in unacceptable images (in my eye). Now had I pulled off the 2x tele extender, I may have been able to pull the blurred prop look off, but it was so dusty/windy at the top the hill (basically a construction site), and I didn't deem it smart to do that.

Here's one of those not shared images at 1/400s:

I fully agree that shooting handheld at 600mm would not work out too well and like I said, it is just a pilot thing.

Well, it’s that time of year again up here...Cherryfest 2018 and the annual airshow. It was the Blue Angels turn this year (they come every other year). This time I opted to try a new vantage point, high up on one of the hills overlooking downtown. While we didn’t get to see a lot of the trick action close up, we did see some really low flying turns right overhead before they zipped on down to stage center. The only downside was the excess heat warning that the whole area was under (triple digits and humidity)—not my favorite. All shots were taken with the EM1ii with my 150f2 with ec-20 in c-af tracking mode
