Indeed. I appreciate your comments and will use these as a guide. Looking forward to the next show...
Thanks for the great tip...
Beautiful images, Paul...
Good point, again. Have spent a lot of time shooting birds in flight and trying to increase sharpness with a cropped sensor by increasing shutter speed...does not apply to propellers in motion...obviously...the Chicago Air show is coming and that's mostly Blue Angels and jets so high shutter won't be an objection...appreciate this forum very much...
Thanks very much...I was able to get the slow shutter speed for taxiing planes but these images showed me that I was just too timid to shoot at a moving object...thanks for all the confirming information...
This may be the simplest question ever asked. I recently attended the Oshkosh EAA and photographed several propeller driven aircraft during the air show. I wanted to get the sharpest images possible. I was using a Nikon D500 with a Sigma 150-600 lens. I was shooting at 1/4000, 6.3, 160 iso. At this shutter all the propellers are frozen. Obviously, they are turning slower than 4000 per second. How do I achieve max sharpness with the propellers moving? That would probably have to be at no more than 1/1000.
Have been shooting at 1/1600...to reduce blur will go to 1/2000 as minimum...
These are hand held and I have not adjusted the lens...great observations...
Hi GS, just downloaded originals...
My mistake. I meant to download the entire image...
