It's been my experience -- younger days, of course -- that adipose tissue is relatively evenly disposed in the places it tends to accumulate. Odd to see such an accumulation in one (well, two) points. About as odd as thinking that aesthetically, man can improve on nature. YMMV.
 
The Sea Fury was moving at over 300 knots when I shot that, the prop was spinning. All digital pictures have what is called exif data attached to them telling all or the particulars about the shot, if you know to read it. I shot this in shutter priority at 1/1250th of a second.

I don't know the gear ratio of the Sea Fury but if you assume 1600 rpm max at the prop, it probably isn't too far off (can't have the blade tips of a 12'+ prop supersonic). That is 26 rev per second or .02 revolutions in the shutter time, or roughly 8 inches of blade movement. That looks close.

I figured it was close to 1/500th or 1/1000th. What shutter priority do you think you would have used to capture the effect of a highly rotating blade and air movement over the wing surfaces? I've always liked pictures that capture motion. I know they're difficult to judge at the moment but the effects of movement when they can be recorded are sensational.
 
The fast shutter also hides the fact those talented gals are about to run you down fer botherin' their repose.

Must have been a fast shutter speed as it didn't catch the blurr as the girls ran away.....

No, no, the object is to look like you know what you're doing standing there with a fancy expensive looking black camera so that they think that you might be a Photographer rather than just some old jerk with a camera. Just like hunting, camouflage and deception is the key.

Great looking abs! :cool: I guess a lot of abdominal crunches and sit ups will do that.

Did anyone see tar balls in the sand? If you were looking for them, raise your hand. :D
 
Well,

I showed the picture of the two Ladies to my younger Brother, (who is a expert on such things), and he said that the one on the right should have a decal on her stating, "parts by Dow Chemical".

Great shots. I was out on the Houston Ship Channel this morning, nothing like that there.

I'd say that's money well spent. . .
