F4U Corsair and P-51 Mustang

Thank you, Herbert. I appreciate.

Thank you Paul. Much appreciated

thank you Justin - keep trying! its a must

thank you Adrian - yes of the 16k shots taken over 2 days this composition came out 100% for me

thank you, Patrick. yes, this is the next level - at least for me. It's photography on steroids taking place in a highly dynamic environment. photographing prop planes is challenging To get a full circle blur or other artistic blur, one needs to drop the SS to low values, i.e 1/100 ,1/80, or slower, but get everything else sharp AND still make a likable composition. All this while sitting in the cold wind with 7-10 other photogs in a tight space the back of the open shaking Skyvan. the keeper rate is low as a high % of shots are taken by just looking at the live view screen as one stretches and curls in awkward positions body positions to get the camera over and through other photog's body parts. this was truly an exhilarating experience/opportunity to network with like-minded people.

thank you, Mike. the hub is painted white although I did lift the shadows a bit to reveal some of the engine area

thank you Alan. It was indeed a blast. missed out on the jets, but the learning/honing skills and networking were positive.
