A few pics from the Air Show last month. I had a blast, first time shooting there with a9/200-600.

Some great shots, there!

Some great shots, there!

Thank you! Especially proud of the C-130: 1/125s is good for the propellers, but hard (for me) to get a shot that's reasonably sharp

Nice shot. 1/125th is very slow. Prop blur can depend on the motor too. If you want complete blur like you show, you can get it with 1/160th on older rotary engines like biplanes which are usually slow and not too hard to track. If you like seeing the blades in a partial movement blur (my personal favorite) you can get that with 1/200th, which is also a good speed for the more powerful motors like you'd find on a Cessna Skymaster. For powerful custom built stunt planes, you can get away with up to 1/350th with partial motion blur.

For jets, stay above 1/1500th.

Thanks for all the info! I like seeing the full prop circle blurred, I find it closer to what our eyes can see. Just a matter of personal preference.
