This was shot from a helicopter circling over Rio de Janeiro just as the sun was starting to set. You can see everything in the image is sharp except for the blade of the helicopter at the top of the frame blurred from motion. I knew that the helicopter would be bouncy and not stable to take clean photos at a lower shutter speed, so my shutter speed was at the lowest 1/250 for this flight, but i knew i wanted the shutter speed to be slow enough to blur the helicopter blades if i happened to catch them in a frame as I burst photos circling the Christ the Redeemer.
I wanted to include the helicopter blade at the top to tell the viewer exactly where the shot was taken from, as opposed to a drone photo.
This shot was at 17mm, f4, 1/320 second
