Boy the clouds make the 2nd shot. I wish Jim Leroy's plane was a little bigger in the frame, but the clouds make it.

Minor nit. The EXIF on the cloud shot says 1/1000, 1/250 is max on shots like this or the prop freezes, or you can go nuts like Victor and shoot 1/50!! :)

Thanks for the hint. I'll have to remember that 1/250 sec thing for the props next time.

I'll have to remember that 1/250 sec thing for the props next time. Less is "more" (prop blur)! ;) Other than that, I love the 1st one & nice catch on #4.

[Tee Why]
