Merci it had been bugging me

I regularly drive past, but have never visited the town or aeroclub. According to Wikipedia, “Laon Cathedral is one of the most elaborate and best-preserved of the early French Gothic cathedrals” and perched on the hill it dominates the surrounding area.

A couple of weeks ago we and a few Mooney friends organized an air to air shooting over the River Rhine. Weather wasn’t perfect, windy and cloudy. The photographer isn’t a pro but an ATCO in his day job and I had never done this but still I think the result is not bad:



The camera ship was a C172, therefore we had to stay lower and the perspective is always from above.

Those are very good photos.

If one was looking for a criticism, arguably the propeller looks best at a shutter speed which produces a slight blurred arc, and usually it is at about 1/250. Your first pic has almost got it. Like this:

That’s interesting. The photographer was afraid that the prop would appear to be standing still like on the last one. It was very bumpy and he used a fast shutter speed.
