Hell of a camara. You can see the props with almost no blur on the Brazillia.

Very nice shots. Good camera, with the skill and proficiency to go with it.

Yes, very impressive equipment and skills.

Mind telling what kind of camera that is and what settings you would use for those types of moving pictures? I can hardly get a decent picture of my kids running playing soccer, let along a flying jet plane!

I can't believe it captured those props like that!

Thanks for everybody's comments!

If you go to the URL I posted, move your cursor over the photo displayed, and a menu with "photo info" will come up. Click on that, and it will show
you the photo EXIF data, which has all the settings.

The camera is a Nikon D70 DSLR, and a 70-200mm f/2.8 VR Nikkor lens.

Yes, thanks!!! Were you able to find the camera settings you wanted?

 

[Defective]

Yes, they are there like you said.

Curious, just an amatuer? Self taught?

My wife was trying to get me to drop for a Canon Digital Rebel. We have a PowerShot SD630 right now that does decent for a point and shoot type. Love the big display screen on it and overall design.

Just an amateur. Canon is a good camera, and go head to head with Nikon.
Nikon just pulled ahead of Canon with the announcement of their D3, and D300 DSLRs that are supposed to start shipping this month.
