Shooting WWII aircraft. What's a good compromise shutter speed. I
define "good" as sharp images of the airframe with a realistic blurring
of the props?
I'm shooting an 80 - 200 fast zoom on a K10D. Hand held. High shutter
speeds work for the jets, but 1/250 or above freezes the props on old
piston aircraft - makes it look like the engine's stopped.
Aperture priority didn't work out as well as I hoped, nor was the
mono-pod very effective - great for panning, but aggravating as heck for
overhead shots ...
No way to use a tripod. If I'd set it up, some ***** would have knocked
it over. As it was, I was constantly being jostled by idiots.
