lax368 0 Posted May 7, 2006 I like this one becuase the planes are are fully visible, but the mustang wing over the F-15 cockpit looks a bit funny to me. Overall nice shot though, the sky was the perfect shade of blue. Link to comment
alton 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Nice shot. I think this was at Sun `n Fun, Lakeland, Fla.? Lee Lauderback's wing does look a little funny draping over the F-15. You stopped the prop, indicating an engine emergency. The trick is to slow the shutter to at least 125th and yet still get a sharp shot. Difficult to do. FYI: The New York Times had a story today and yesterday about Lee giving a P-15 ride to the writer in this very plane, "Crazy Horse." Link to comment
dangoldman 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Not that i can, but i second the suggestion to slow down the shutter speed for prop blur. Some shots i think you can get away with it, this is i think is not one. However, its great timing and a lucky sky. also, this is not lakeland since the F22 was flying there (which was very neat). Link to comment
tim_adams 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Panning is pretty easy at 1/250 on these slow Heritage Flight shots, it just takes practice. 1/200, and 1/160 work well also. When you get down to 1/125th you start to push it. I usually go to 1/125 or slower for taxi shots, because of the engine turning so much slower at idle. Link to comment
fcalvo 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Didn't know that about the prop, it does look a little wierd stopped like that. Alton: this it was at the McDonald's Air & Sea Show in Ft. Lauderdale. http://www.airseashow.com and yes there was a couple of Raptors flyby, the first time I geto see them. Also a B2 bomber which was not very good for photographing. I'll check that article on the NYtimes, thanks for the heads up. Link to comment
k5083 1 Posted May 8, 2006 Don't like this one as much as the other Heritage Flight shot -- it's too standard. Make your own call about whether the lack of prop blur bothers you. I'm fine with it. Remember, the eye doesn't see a propeller as four fuzzy blades any more than four sharp ones, so it is all a matter of convention. Link to comment
