A very low flying CC-130
I found myself near an airport where I could tell a CC-130 (the Canadian Forces variant of the C-130 Hercules) was just about to take off. Had my camera. Had time to park at the end of the runway. Shot 7 images. This was the best one.
Slower shutter speed (1/800th) and tracking the aircraft progress by panning with the camera: Trading off of pin sharp for the prop blur. The spiral blade tip trails were unexpected, but cool.
