[Swipe!] The very long light streaks make shooting

[Swipe!] The very long light streaks make shooting 1/3 second exposures all worth it, despite it not being practical at all. At this speed, the entire fuselage can’t be in focus unless the airplane’s motion is directly tangent to the camera. Any off angle yields significant motion blur (see the tail section of these shots). However, I still love the challenge and outright insanity of shooting this slow handheld! #onetenthchallenge

Joining in on the #onetenthchallenge by @photographyish with this night 🍳 I’m a huge fan of the streaks of light created from the slow exposure speed!

Summer’s on the way and that means we get to see the China Southern A380 🐳jet in the sunset light! Had a great spotting trip with @photographyish and @t.jasephotography the other day at LAX!

I originally wasn’t going to post today, but when I found out this beautiful bird is being retired, I had to dig up a shot and share it. It’s certainly quite sad to see such a young 777-300ER (delivered in 2004) be retired so early.

Shooting air to ground opens up many creative angles, and this is one I was really hoping to get, despite the backlight. The fact that it’s a Korean 77W makes it all the better as they’re one of my favorite liveries!

The American Dreamliner zooming past TBIT on its way to Sydney. It’s unique to see Dreamliners rotate so late. They’re probably quite heavy or derated!
