The rotors on a large helicopter turn at a slower speed than the propellers on an aircraft. If you were shooting a large helicopter in flight and wanted the slower turning rotors to appear as if they are turning (not stopped), exactly how would you shoot it?
Today I shot some helicopters and I had my shutter speed anywhere from 1/60 - 1/200. I was shooting them at 300mm. Needless to say, while I did capture the turning rotors, the helicopters didn't turn out as sharp as hoped due to camera shake and shooting less than 1/300 with my 300mm lens.
Question is, how to shoot the slower moving rotors (showing motion) while keeping the helicopter itself sharp?
Any ideas?
Thanks
