By the sheerest of luck, I've managed to meet Bill's challenge of getting prop blur on a plane that's in the air. Check out Bill's Photography Challenge to see what he was looking for. When we got home from the air field Saturday afternoon Bill dove straight into what he'd shot that day, but I left my camera sitting in the living room and fiddled around with other projects. So while he was muttering about prop blur and putting that challenge together, I was totally unaware of the image waiting for me in my camera. Tonight I uploaded my biplane pics to the computer and started looking at them. Imagine my surprise when I saw this!! This is at f8.0 and 1/320th. I got a couple of shots at 1/400th that had SOME prop blur, but not much. Bill said at 1/100th he got a blurry plane. I assure you ... when I was at the air field I was not the least bit concerned with prop blur. It really was pure luck that I got this shot. This was taken hand held at full zoom so it's a little grainy, but at least the plane doesn't have any motion blur going on. I thought this was the prettiest plane of the three we saw fly on Saturday. I just love the dark green and black paint job with those creamy wings, and there's something mesmerizing about a radial engine with a big cowling like that. So graceful and elegant! For you airplane enthusiasts, this plane has an incredible story, which you can read HERE
