1/8000th of a Second

[GB1]

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.

The blade looks a bit soft.....
Nice shot though

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.

Well freeze it, it did! Congratulations on the new camera as well!
