Knowledge Check

AIM • FRAME • CLICK™

1. A propeller aircraft is moving across your frame. What should guide your shutter-speed choice?

Always use the fastest shutter available.Balance subject sharpness with enough propeller blur to communicate motion.Use the same shutter speed for every aircraft.

2. Before photographing an aircraft near sunset, what should you study first?

Only the aircraft paint color.Only the lens focal length.The direction and quality of the light relative to your shooting position.

3. Why check nose, wing tips and tail before pressing the shutter?

To protect the aircraft’s complete visual identity and intentional composition.Because every image must be centered.Because backgrounds never matter.

4. Which sequence best describes the Motion Lab approach?

Shoot → find aircraft → stop → reframe.Anticipate → acquire → track → shoot → follow through.Zoom → crop → sharpen → repeat.

5. What is the goal of the editing workflow?

Invent a completely different sky and lighting direction.Crop aggressively until the aircraft fills every edge.Refine exposure, color and attention while preserving authenticity.
