Bonjour Pierre,
A perfect tight crop of this DHC-2 Beaver, great plane to fly! Superb sharpness an you had the right settings to have the plane sharp and still the propeller motion blur perfectly captured!

Hi Pierre,

Very nice capture of the sea plane taking off. As Hans mentioned, the shutter speed is perfect. Very sharp and colorful. TFS

Hi Pierre,

That's a great action shot! I noticed that you only had your lens at 210mm, so you must have been quite close. You achieved a very nice image with your ISO 200 setting. Your relatively slow shutter speed allowed you to blur the propeller, which gave your shot a very natural look. It's an atractive shot, but I think that it would have looked a bit better if you had straightened the horizon -- this would have angled the airplane up also, so that its takeoff would appear to be more realistic. Good contribution to the theme. TFS.

Regards,
John

Pierre,
Nice Beaver shot! I like the tight framing and the trees being in the background for the sense of scale. It's a bit centered but sometimes a tightly framed shot tends to be that way. I might have cloned out the little white things on the bottom. Nevertheless, nice shot here!

Bonjour Pierre,

Belle contribution pour le theme. Tehcniquement c'est clair, net et bien exposé. Le cadrage serré fait bien ressortir l'appareil.

Hello Pierre,

This also very nice, perfect seen.
I would always try a little bit more space before the plane.

Greetings,

John
