Thanks David. The paintwork was a team effort. My wife, Laura, picked the colors. I chose the wing design and horizontal tail design and did the masking. I would have put stripes on the vertical like the horizontal, but Laura 'insisted' on the checkers. My friend, Dennis, did the spraying. Also, fading the checkers was Dennis' idea - since he was the artist that did it.

Cranking up the ISO and shutter speed kills the motion. Love it Jeff.

Russ, I thought I read somewhere that for aviation photography, you were supposed to use slow enough shutter speed to blur the prop. My photographer friend, Cooper, did not know or adhere to this. I think the shutter speed here is 1/2000. We had that discussion after the photo session and he was concerned that a slower shutter would blur the rest of the picture. Like you, I love it just like it is. Not sure how or if 'conventional wisdom' should be applied here.

Jeff, he had to use this shutter speed or the plane would have had motion blur. The ISO is also used with the newer digital cameras to increase the shutter speed and still be able to get enough step down in the lens f stops. The test for any photograph is in how long one will spend locking at it. It's said if you have a shot that will hold someone attention for 10 seconds or longer you've got a great shot.

How high were you? Looks like your making a turn at ground level. Thats what makes the picture so dramatic.

Thomas, my lower wingtip is probably 10 to 15 feet above the water. Here is the uncropped photo giving a better idea of altitude. My photographer friend asked if I could get lower, but I declined.

It's possible to get a good shot with a lower ISO and slower shutter, Jeff, but it's hard to do. You have to track the airplane exactly. That blurs the prop and the background--makes a very dramatic shot--but if you get it wrong, the airplane is blurry, too. So if you have only one chance, go for the high numbers.
