That must be a pretty serious rig you have to catch the prop like that, even if the prop is only turning at 1000 rpm.

I used a shutter speed fast enough to almost freeze the prop during run-up but slow enough to indicate motion. Perspective is such that could almost reach out and - - - - -

Photo was on April 07; on April 01, the day before the new airport opened, we got nailed by considerable snowfall.

Sony A900 full-frame DSLR, 24.6 MP, Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar lens. It was the only shot I took of that composition.

Ahh, yes. I've done that before. My camera's shutter goes up to 1/8000th.

Very cool, is that a skycatcher?

N866RH Glastar. The local owner is the 2nd owner. He bought it from the widow of the builder/owner. It's only been local for a few weeks; the new registration doesn't show up, yet, in the data files.

Here's a "respect the prop" video I made when I swapped the polished spinner and back plate on the Pitts for a composite painted version:

Starting to really like what Sony's been doing with their acquisition of Minolta, in their DSLRs. Nikon seems to have slacked off a bit, no seriously new tech from them in a while. Sony may give Canon a run for their money.

Touchdown! Greaser!
Boy, I could swear that was an OMF Symphony. I got my PPL in one of those. Here is a picture after my first solo:

I think I'll stick with my Canon's for now. Anybody feel free to PM me if you have any EF lenses for sale though. :wink2:

Nate: I was a long time Nikon F3 devotee with multiple Nikkor lenses and other Nikon gear. Then a guy came into my camera store, he having been here as a lead man to do whatever it was "they" occasionally had to do to nuclear plants(Maine Yankee). After the 3 year job was done he could only take so much with him and I bought from him the Minolta 9xi, a considerable group of upscale lenses and other goods "very right"(couldn't afford to pass up the opportunity). I waited, waited, and waited some more for something compatible to happen, digitally, that could use my "35mm" lenses. When Sony introduced the A100 it was a no-brainer for me with 9 lenses, some of which were exotic stuff. So I bought it. Then I waited again, knowing that eventually Sony would introduce an upgrade(full-frame) DSLR. I know that I own the first A900 body that Sony delivered to the State of Maine. I received it 12 days before Sony even released the model for national distribution(but that's another story).
During 27 years in the business I sold a lot of Nikon and Canon and wouldn't have hesitated to go digitally with either. But for full compatibility re my older lenses, as opposed to selling all mine and repurchasing Nikkor and EF(Canon) optics to replace them, I'd have lost a lot of $$$ in conversion.

Should it weird me out that one of my LLC co-owners used to own a camera store (die-hard Nikon fan, mostly due to a monstrous lens collection between him and his wife), the other co-owner is named Harley... and we have a red and white aircraft?
You're secretly flying our airplane, and borrowing cameras, aren't you!
LOL... sorry, probably should have been a PM. Just thought the odd similarities were interesting enough to share.
You don't happen to own a computer store and/or work as either a Network Security or Unix Sysadmin, or in Telecom, do you?
