I wonder if Geico insures their own skywriting team?

Ever wonder why your Geico insurance is so expensive? Hmmm...

this is what i know, not what i can do, but i beleive for a shot like this, you should have slowed the shutter down to blur the prop. on the other hand, that would come at an expensse to losing sharpness of the airplanes crossing as you cant really pan... Photoshop maybe?

Agreed, brother. I would have rather had the props blurred too, but as I saw the planes setting up for a cross, I cranked it up a bit so that I could get a sharp shot. If the props are blurred, along with everything else being blurred, it's a wasted shot. Compromises, I guess.

 

I'm sure that it could be done in Photoshop. Everything can, almost.

in photo shop, just remember to make sure that when you do it, its either blatently obvious and... artiscly different, or unotieceable. My have a friend who made that mistake once, made the train that was going away look like it was going parralel, and got caught..

 

anyway, it still an awesome image with great timing.
