Wow!  How in the hell do you get a shutter speed fast enough to stop
the *props* almost dead?!  I assume since they're quite large they spin
slower than "normal" sized props, but still...

Nice shootin'!

Those photographs were shot handheld through a 400mm lens. I would
guess the exposure time was 1/800th of a second. It had to exceed
1/400th of a second, else the camera would have warned me the speed was
too slow to be handheld. Aperture was f5.6.

The props might spin slowly, but the angular velocity of the tips could
be similar to a typical prop plane due to the larger radius.
