im somewhat familiar with photography, so i do understand high shutter speed, but wow those are some amazing pics (must be an awesome camera). but the thing is, the pic on the right doesnt seem to jive with the attitude of the plane seen in the crash video - its too vertical. some specifics about the plane: http://www2.leewardairranch.com/racing/galloping-ghost-specs http://www2.leewardairranch.com/racing/history/cleveland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Galloping_Ghost_airplane google site-search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sou...2093l1.6.5l12l0 eta: http://www.warbirdimages.com/the-galloping-ghost |
