Arsenal of Democracy World War II Victory Capitol Flyover

[Gary A.]

The title is very appropriate as it was the US who armed most of the Allies. At the height of the German and Japanese conquests there were only a handful of democracies left in the world. Of those democracies, only the US and Britain could stand toe-to-toe against the Axis powers.

in your opinion.

Post them on an aviation forum and find out if it is only my opinion

The thing is: I couldn't care less.

This is exactly why I didn't shoot at 1/320sec: DCL 2628 Flickr - Photo Sharing

all his shots are blurry; mine arent.

They look like the engines have stopped

I had to rotate the images 90° to make them appear they were actually flying, not falling, too!

@Braineack, you should be ashamed that you weren't able to get perfect images and share them with us, especially since we weren't all able to be there and get perfect images.

I appreciate the images!

I was thinking that he could politely ask them to do it again so he can get the shots right this time

Oh, that would probably be better. I'm sure they'd do it no problem.

Take a picture of your pictures ... but this time shoot at a slower speed.

 

[Braineack]

I'll make sure to bring my handtruck stablizing rig this time.

Shutter speed way too fast, static props is a big minus

I was more than willing to freeze the props in order to achieve crisp clear shots. Doesn't bother me at all.

I haven't much practice with the lens and the approaches were too random to fool around with panning and slow shutters. Even at 1/1250sec I was getting a lot of blurred shots as I was handholding at 600mm. My keeper rate jumped significantly once I bumped up to 1/1600.

Granted I should have tried a few at 1/1000 or 1/500, but there was nothing to practice on and I wanted to make sure I was able to capture them all.

this.
When faced with a situation when you question if you can get the shot. Just make sure you get it. Otherwise there is no shot at all.

Thats a cop out

I didn't shoot 50mm either. I'm surprised you haven't deducted points for that as well...

you did shoot a multiple of 50mm ...

It is true, and you know it.
I think the o.p wished he could have used a lower speed, maybe wished he had on some of these. But since he already knows this. Why go round and round? His first priority was getting them in focus without camera shake blur, He did that.

already deducted because you didn't shoot film. But once i deducted that hundred points for it being digital the prop issue was nolonger a issue.

(just kidding)
