Super shots Tim. Best prop blur I've seen, except on my own stuff.:) My favorite is your second one. Thanks for sharing.

The blur and lighting in the second shot is super. Great pic!

Well you could at least give us a shutter speed. ;)
I presume the engines were at idle for both shots?
Fantastic stuff!

1/40 on the first, 1/60 on the second shot. Engine at idle on the first, powered up to taxi out in the second shot.

Those are very nice shots!

Thanks for the info. I would imagine an IS lens would improve your keeper ratio quite a bit for stuff like this.

Very nice, #2 is exceptional!

Hi all.

I love those shots.
It's even harder when you try it like this one.

That's a nice shot. It is 1/125th though. Doable with practice. When you slow down like this though, unless the plane is perfectly parallel with your sensor, you will get some motion blur.

Tim, well done on both of them. #2 is my favorite.. Thanks for sharing them.

I envy you guys! You have the weather, the light and the planes to boot!
Usually; the option to catch a P-51 around here is slight... but thanks to Mr. Allen's collection it's becoming more attainable.
I tried last weekend to get some shots; but the weather was such they couldn't fly :cry:
I tried to stay at about 125th, but the light was low and I had a bit too much coffee for the 100-400...
...but the ability to be right with the aircraft and the smell of Avgas made it all worth the while.
Looking forward to next June when they resume flights :)
Thanks for sharing and keep up the great stuff!

2nd pic is special.
Background clutter is always a nuisance , but I like the 2 background propellers visible through the blurred prop.
