Default The Fly By


Also shot this from at the top of a boom crane. I had the pilot fly past maybe 30-50 feet away. We did about 15 attempts at this shot before I was happy with this one. Hard to get it just right while panning a plane that close.

Nikon D40
18-55mm Nikkor Lens
1/50"
F29
ISO 200

Now that is a cool shot! It looks like your in another RC plane, in the middle of a fury ball. That's fighter speak for a dog fight. Well done!

Thanks, but that's not an RC. It's a real crop duster.
