I have to answer for Roger. Read his message, please. He says
"compressor blades in a Jet turbine". Not propeller blades. He also
never said he wanted to stop the blades for the picture, just that he
could. Pardon me if I sound peevish; these digital vs. film, my camera
vs. your camera threads do that to me. Objective reports and user
forums abound for cameras if you look not very hard and the digital/film
bs is not arguable with any degree of usefulness. Nor is the definition
of art etc. George Santayana said that "Those who do not know history
are doomed to repeat it." That is this forum sometimes.

I promise to be nicer tomorrow.

What's more, why would you want to stop the blades (freeze them in the
photograph), assuming you are referring to propeller-driven aircraft?
I think that will lead to static pictures. Best to have some blur to
convey motion--especially if photographing air-to-air or
ground-to-air. Frozen propellers on a moving plane just look
unnatural to me.

Hmm. It will certainly wreak some havoc, but it may not stop the
blades. Seems like a waste of a good camera!
