Subject: [Leica] IMG: Photographing Helicopter Rotors

After discussions yesterday about capturing helicopter rotor action, I tried 
again today.  My approach was to push other parameters in order to get the 
shutter speed down to 1/100 sec or lower.  This shot, of an engine runup 
following maintenance work, seemed to work out fairly well.

E-1 with Leica Elmarit-R 28mm, ISO 100, 1/80 at f/22, RAW

Another shot at 1/100 seemed to be fine, also.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
