Description

Not my sharpest image of an aircraft. The exposure also way too fast for decent prop blur! In some ways I am glad of that as it does show off the new prop design. New, more powerful, digitally-controlled Rolls-Royce engines, fitted with Dowty Aerospace advanced technology six-bladed composite propellers, enable the C-130J to fly much further, faster and higher than previous models. They also help the C-130J to be at least 15% more fuel-efficient than previous models. Have a great day/evening! Clive

Great shot; it must be frightening to have that flying so low over the roofs, though!

Just can't get used to those 'bent' props. A brilliant plane, good to see it being improved / upgraded, rather than retired / replaced.

I just read an article about this plane (The J..) This is a good shot for 300mm.. I, at all airshows, have to set my camera on Auto, but last time the ISO, I set at on 200 on an over ride.. That gets a small amount of blur.. But, as you can see, the modern camera decides for itself no matter what you do, and you often get blurry or down right rubbish shots if you don't 'really' know what you are doing, or set Auto.. Trouble with re-setting the camera each time for a different picture, is you often miss allot of the 'action'.. Dilemma! Great shot though and they are cool props! Rob PS: Sorry to drone on Mate!
