Hi Luggers,
Was at the South Seaplane Terminal this afternoon and took a few pictures 
with my M10 and the 90mm Elmarit.
I settled on 1/180 as slow enough to have a blurred prop spin but high 
enough to have a sharp plane.

The first picture is shot in continuous low speed:

The following two pictures were shot with the same shutter speed and 
aperture but on continuous high speed:

Please check out the prop wash on these photos. When I first looked I 
thought maybe my M10
was acting up from being in continuous mode but on reflection I think high 
humidity may be a
more likely answer.

Any insights would be welcome.

You can look large if you wish,

Howard
