With prop planes, I have found that a shutter speed of 1/125 is perfect for good prop blade blur but sharp otherwise. Don't know what the magic number is for helicopters, though. Still, with digital, cut and try is much easier. Were it me, I would go for a blurred blade about 4-6 time the chord.

I enjoy visiting with him when I catch him at his desk. Here is Jimmy's corner: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Jimmy.jpg.html While I was on the ramp, the Vanderbilt Lifeflight unit received a call. The helicopter was soon rolled out and making ready for the flight: Warming up: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Warm-Up.jpg.html Lifting off: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Lift+Off.jpg.html Departure: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Departure.jpg.html If you view these large, you may note two red children painted beneath the rotor. This indicates that this unit has an infant care kit on board. All with the E-1 and Leica Elmarit-R 28mm Comments and critiques welcomed.
