Unfortunately or fortunately, as the case may be, I was in aperture priority mode at f14 and ended up with a pretty low shutter speed. I panned with the landing eagle and ended up tracking reasonably well, but there was plenty of subject motion involved too. This is the result:

It came out pretty good… I must admit. I like it a lot.
I must admit that I’m completely amature and have not done much bout photography, learned to use manual settings but am still… figuring out… how to get great shots. That and I need more subjects that inspire me.
Great photo.
Wow… STUNNING …. 😛
