That's incredible how you can take such a crisp and amazingly sharp shot on such a fast moving object!! 385 mm at 1/2656th of a second!!!! That's just INCREDIBLE!!!

Thank you very much. It just takes some practice and a firm knowledge of your equipment and technique, and I don't even consider this one of my better images.

Haha of course you have! And you couldn't have chosen better subject matter, as I am a huge fan of the space shuttle and military machines
