Aerial photography

Several years before I bought a drone, I hired a small plane in Namibia to take aerial photographs of the Skeleton Coast and the huge dunes of Sossusvlei. If there is even a little bit of wind, small planes are really bumpy. When shooting with a telephoto lens (70-200mm in this case) the movement of the plane is magnified significantly. That means the shutter speed has to be fast. To err on the side of caution, I used 1/1600th of a second. I chose an f/4 aperture because depth of field was irrelevant here. The large opening also allowed the fast shutter. My ISO was 200.
