Same Liberator I posted a while back but a better view of the nose area, one sweet plane.

Comments welcome and much appreciated

Nice catch of this old warbird! A slower SS (1/320 - 1/500 max) would allow for a small arc of propeller blur which appears much more natural. Using a slower SS certainly requires good panning technique to maintain sharpness so, as usual, it's a trade-off. Very nice!

Love these proud old birds! The B-24 Liberator along with the Corsairs are my all time favorites and to see them fly is an unforgettable experience.

Hi Al,

Yeah looks like a better angle then the previous shot, again assuming it was quite some distance off. Do like the B24, yet to see one fly seen statics but not quite the same :)

Agree that a slower SS would help the image, however I suspect you were prob in Aperture prio mode and shooting birds at the time ;)

[Harold Davis]

that's a beautiful old bird. never seen it up close. always far away and never photographed it. we gotta remember that slower ss for the prop planes!! makes sense!!

[Fabs Forns]

Neat, but we need other means of transportation too ;)

Nice image, Al.

I have to agree with the others. Slower shutter speed is needed, but otherwise a great shot.

One of my first attempts at shooting warbirds, at the EAA in Wisconsin (before Oshkosh), I did as you did the whole afternoon. I got good images, but they looked like the models on my ceiling, when I was a kid. :confused: Shot about 6 rolls that day and ... not too happy with the results, though the image turned out.

Looks like it could use a touch of contrast too Al......learned something too about the props.....makes sense!
