More great airplane images. I'd never stopped to think about shutter
speed, focal length and frozen props. But I noticed that your actual
shutter speed was 1/4000. I'm wondering if, with in-body IS, you might
not be able to get away with a much slower shutter speed. Maybe, with
panning, as slow as 1/250 or possibly even 1/125.
