Mk 9 Spitfire flying with a P-51D Mustang - alas my shutter speed was just too high for the props

Not mine so hope it's okay to post ... Simon's post above made me think about sharing video of the phenomenon when the rotor speed of a helicopter is synced to a video camera...

I think I prefer it the way you have it, pin sharp throughout.

Now that's rather fine...

It occurs to me much later that the use of shutter speed priority might help here, given that any of us attempting this kind of shot maybe only have one go at this flypast. You could start with the shutter at say 1/4000th and roll it down to 1/250th (or longer?) as the planes fly over. Somewhere on the card there might be pics of sharp planes and motion blur on props. But probably not the ones where the orientation of the aircraft looks right, as in Simon's pic!

Christopher, the challenge here was when I was at the (last ever sadly) Rougham Airshow at Bury St Edmunds when I took this photo I was hand holding a 300mm lens using a standard size SLR sensor whilst fast panning.. therefore I needed to wind the shutter speed up to get a sharp picture, hence the almost but not quite frozen props... if I had a tripod mounted telephoto I could have wound down ... but my skill of tracking aircraft using a tripod or even a monopod just isn't there to capture images like this.. and the planes were close to me and to the ground which is why you see the undersides lit from the reflection from the airfield..

i have pictures taken at Old Warden vintage air shows where the planes are a little further away, and perhaps slower moving, and I have quite well blurred props, even hand held...

I would have done the job the way you did, for the same reasons.

Hawker Tomtit flying low at Old Warden (you can see the reflection of the air field around the engine cowling). Shot at 1/1000sec using a 300mm prime lens at f/5.0 - ISO 1000 and got some acceptable prop blur... exposure more of a challenge with the white cloud, but acts as a sort of a reflector on the plane to nicely illuminate it

Floating an idea
