Crop Duster...

I was laying in bed Saturday morning when I heard the familiar sound of a Crop Duster. We have fields all around our home. I grabbed my camera and big lens and ran outside to get some shots and it was gone. I was bummed as I am trying to get some practice before the airshow this year at Fairchild AFB. I went back in the house and laid back down. About 20 minutes later I heard the plane again. He must have had to get some more of what ever he was spraying. I ran out again and was able to get some pics. Here are a few. The first ones, I discovered too late that I was using too fast of a shutter speed and not getting the blur of the prop that I like. I then fixed that.
These were taken with a Sony a700 and Tamron 200-500mm lens.
Comments welcomed.

    Wow, all great shots. I like #2 the best also. I was wondering which shutter speed worked out to get the prop blur you wanted. I'm guessing about 1/640?
