Pretty good shot however, EXIF shows shutter at 1/1600. If you want rotor blur, you'll need to use a slower shutter speed.


Gear: Kodak Brownie and homemade pin-hole cameras. Burlap sack for a bag.

This is a nice shot. Rotor blur would have made it exceptional. Even without it is one of the better ones I've seen.

Excellent shot!

At least these birds (much older than f/14 etc.) haven't been phased out yet.
What a great design!

Forget the Apache's weenie chain gun, this has the 3 barreled 20mm vulcan! :)

But with upgrades and the service life extension efforts, they aren't your father's Cobras anymore. They're practically brand new birds.

Big +1 on the 20mm, however!
