Hanging out the back of a Sky Van where your next step will have you swimming with the fish, some find it hard to believe you can think photography. Actually, as I warned the participants of our TX Air2Air that when you see that aircraft, in this case a gorgeous F4U-5N Corsair parked at the rear door, just clicking is hard to remember to do. But in order to get that big “disk,” that blurred prop you’ve gotta think about basics just for starters. I shoot in Shutter Priority just to get that prop blur. The full disk blur was 1\/45 while the partial was 1\/90. It’s a function of the number of blades in the prop to RPM. I vary my shutter speed during the shoot because I want a variety of disks, all the same I feel would be boring.<\/p>\n

The other basic that is so important is backgrounds. The Corsair made it’s impact in WWII & Korea in many ways but most of them were over islands in the Pacific. You want to suggest islands in a photograph, nothing does it better then surf and sand. It’s so simple yet not when you’re flying. If you see a background you like you’d best shoot it fast because in about 18sec, it’s gone from the frame. They don’t stick around and if you want it again, get out the wallet as you take time and gas to fly an orbit to use it again. While this is the most exciting photography around, you still gotta think about basics to being back the images!<\/p>\n
