Description:
I'm forever surprised by how hard it is to make still photos of airplanes in flight look the thing are actually flying. Here's a shot of a fairly dramatic flyby--with the SeaRey stuck onto the sky as if it were glued there.

Need to slow down the shutter speed, Don, and then pan. Tales practice, skill and luck. Looking at the prop blade the speed was too fast.<br /><br />The problem, or one of them, is the further away the aircraft, never mind what lens you use, the harder it is to keep it crisp and stationary in the frame.<br /><br />Please don;t take this as criticism, I like your picture, just a hint to answer your question. Typically 1/250th/sec is good for prop aircraft.

You're right of course, Chris. I just didn't have time to shoot with manual settings that time.<P>Here's what the original shot looked like before cropping:<P><img src="inline/20031-IMG_8247_15pc.jpg" alt="IMG_8247-15pc"><!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML. Please fix the HTML.</font> -->

You guys have no imagination! I think it is a great shot of a beautiful airplane zooming in <br />for a landing in some little mud puddle in Kansas. All the technical stuff to make the trees <br />or the airplane blur to show the speed is distracting to me. But then what do I know. Just <br />what I like.<br />Great shot, Don (Guess my imagination got a bit carried away)

Must say that the uncropped picture has a 'Prairie' atmosphere that is rather cool.

It is, Chris, and I almost left it that way, with all the mass on the right and that stark, empty skyspace in the rest. But it keeps throwing me off balance, so I decided to crop everything but the tree and airplane. There's almost enough of the blue reflected in the water, diagonally opposite the airplane, but I thought not quie enough for comfortable balance. I thought of superimposing a calendar--or something like that--on the left side. In the end, I just went with that very static effect of the tightest crop, hoping for some kind of surreal effect--but now that I've looked at it again, the original shot seems the most surreal of all. In any case, all versions seem like a PhotoShop job--assembled images with no hint of motion. It is what it is.

Don,
Whether the viewer is a Srey Pilot or a Photohead, it's a great picture! Enjoyed the gathering throughout and the chat with Richard Bock.

Leaving fine composition aside, I find that planes, automobiles and women look better if more of the picture is in front of them than behind, even if just a little. Of course the problem with all three is that one is usually so distracted that one can't keep up with the pan.
