    1/8000th of a Second
    Put my new Nikon's faster shutter speed to the test while flying in a small plane. Here's what it did to the propeller. Not bad grain for 3200 ISO, either.

    I remember shooting prop plane at the air show last year and freezing them at about 2000 I think.

    :eek: OH, NO! The engine stopped!

    Whether they can be stopped with fast shutter would depend on the rpms.

    A little soft but so what?

    Nice capture. So did you use 1/8000th because you could?

    Which camera did you get?

    Yeah, just chose 1/8000th of a sec because it was there, and there was something in front of me that I could try freezing. It's a Nikon D700.
