At least I got one good click, not great but good, of the P-38 to start the file this trip.

There is a rumor that I might have a once in a lifetime opportunity to photograph these amazing planes air to air. So even though the skies sucked, the photos sucked, they’re golden to me.

I took a whole bunch of notes about shooting the P-38, everything from shutter speed to blur the props to focal length to attractive profiles. Planning is everything, from planes to critters and I do it a lot so when the game is on, I have my game face.

Here’s the Sky Crane shot in Shutter Priority at 1/180. It could be just me, but it just looks wrong. I reminds me of when I was a kid playing with these models and I’d spin the prop and it would twirl for a heartbeat and then stop. The imagination of flight would end with the prop stopped.

This is a COOL giant machine and I want the photograph to say just that. So I cranked the shutter speed down to /90, blur no good. I sent it down to 1/45, still no good. Finally at 1/20 I got a blur that matches the imagination with the reality of flight. Yeap, this is a 200-400VR handheld shot taken at 1/20 and it’s something YOU can do TOO! You just got practice, literally everyday and you can capture the same image and image quality!
