Yesterday (6/21/14) was the first day of summer and I set up my equipment on Sunset Ave. People walking by often ask me what I am photographing. I reply, "Anything that flies, swims, drives, or rolls by."
I suspect there was a vintage fly-in at Paine Field north of me in Everett, as several old airplanes spent the day circling the Sound. My friend Bob is an aviation buff who recently took up serious photography of planes. He was probably camped out at the end of the runway at Paine Field with the other photographers.
Bob told me that aviation photographers want the propeller blurred rather than a frozen to show a real plane in flight rather than a model dangling from a thread. The perfect photo is a 360 degree propeller "disc"
