Weekly Challenge: From Above

Maralee_Park_130501_46577-EditThis was a perfect challenge for me this week.  I flew to Minnesota to visit family and on the leg from Bend to Portland, I was flying in a propeller plane and had a window seat.  On one photo, I was trying to use a low aperture and high shutter speed to stop the motion of the propeller.  The propeller isn’t quite sharp, but it was pretty much “stopped in mid-air.”  That was a 1/8000 of a second at f/5.6.

The second shot was as we were flying over Lake Billy Chinook.
