RNZAF Open Day

Well. a bunch of us Auckland POTNers headed off to the the Royal New Zealand Air Farce, I mean Force open day yesterday. I spent most of the day strugling to get the right shuter speeds to get some prop/rotor blur and while still getting sharp shots. Needless to say I got a lot of blurry shots.

As we don't have any real planes, it was left to the Aussies to supply the fire power!

Hey Scott some great work. Well done

Cool - looks like it was great weather, too. Good shots

Great shots

Awesome stuff Scott!

Very well done.

I too suffer the challenge of good prop blur vs shaky shots each time I visit Temora. It gets to you after a while having to trash most of your shots. it's a pity that there are not more days like this so we can practise more.

Wardie

Very nice shots.

Cool shots Scott!

Thanks for the comments everyone, here are a couple more.

i LOVE this one and im a girl (lol i know you all know that) and planes arent my thing at all really but this ones great!

Agreed, even has the odd man out to add interest and break the pattern.

The motion blur is very effective and well executed on some of the others. Great result.
