Oshkosh 2022 | North American T-6 Texan Landing Photogs pay a great deal of attention to the background. To get the prop blurred, the shutter speed must be low enough to make it blur. To get the T-6 Texan in focus, really good panning skills are needed. The panning makes the background blur. Sometimes, it works out well; sometimes not so much. In this image, the T-6 looks nice. The background is blurred, but the blurred green trees seem to be a bit distracting. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Oshkosh 2022 | North American B-25 Mitchell Devil Dog The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American medium bomber. North American Aviation produced just under 10,000 B-25s from 1939-1945. It was named after Major General William “Billy” Mitchell, a pioneer in early military aviation. Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of WWII. Over time, it became both a high-level and low-level bomber, a submarine patrol and photo reconnaissance aircraft, and even a fighter. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
