Air Show - Gunship

This, I believe is an Orynx. Open to correction as I am not a plane buff.

This shot was where I got the effect right although underexposed (thankfully shot in raw, so I could fix that). I wanted the sharpness of the vehicle but the blur of the blades to indicate motion.

It takes a fair deal of practice and patience to get the right effect, out of 300 shots on Sunday, only 20 or so are salvageable. But the 280 taught me quite a bit (especially patience)
