Re: Reno 2021 photo thread.
After seeing a few of my shots with prop blur, my first thought is that it would be better if it were a disk. Thanks for the reference shutter speeds. That will give me something to practice.
Regarding camera setup, the biggest simple thing that I found is that the lens stabilization needs to be turned off. It severely interferes with panning when following an aircraft, especially with a slow shutter speed.
I don't have a setup optimized for this.
I am using a cheap 50mm-250mm lens that I bought for less than $300. I retired last year and moved from the Seattle area, to the east side of the Cascades. We have 40 acres of mostly prairie grassland and get a wide array of birds, including many different kinds of raptors hunting on the property.
I'm thinking about getting a lens well suited for birds in flight that I'd also bring to Reno.
Not at all!
I agree with you 100%.
