I just wanted to find out if there were any special settings for capturing an aircraft with the motion blur effect.
Thanks,
Tanuj.

First aircraft to land at ZRH that day, some minutes before 6.00 AM. I'm pretty happy with the result, considering it was taken handheld with 1/30s. - Photo taken at Zurich (- Kloten) (ZRH / LSZH) in Switzerland on May 24, 2003.
or like that?
[photoid=78641]
Then were taken with a rather long aperture time of 1/30s (MD-11) or 1/50 (A340). So far I had more pictures going directly to the trashcan trying this, than anything else.
My brother uses the C-700 camera and I also use the camera and was just wondering since the shutter speed for that camera goes up to around 1,000 if we should use that speed or around 800 or does it depend on how you want the picture to look.

Devildog, if you want motion blur, the go down to something around 1/50 or even slower. With 1/800 or faster, you will need to seriously screw up your image to get motion blur
But don't the images come out too dark at 1/50 shutter speed?

If anything, they woud get overexposed, i.e. too bright. The longer the exposure time (1/50 second is longer than 1/600 second), the more light goes thru the whole lens to the sensor, or film. Closing the aperture (high F-number), the amount of light is reduced again.
My shots presented above were taken in poor light conditions, where I more or less had to take exposure times of 1/30s or 1/50s at biggest appertures possible. In sunny bright days, this is more or less impossible.

Adding to all those tips already given, a monopod would be helpful also to reduce the chance of getting blurry shots. This one for example
[photoid=79214]
was taken with 1/40 at an aperture of 14.
If you should be using a digital slr make sure your sensor is clean when you are using higher f-stops, because dust on the sensor gets more visible with higher f-stops and its a pain in the youknowwhere to get rid off those dust spots.

That was just about the funniest thing I have read all week...
What's so funny about it. As I increase the shutter speed (1/1000) being the highest, the picture do become darker and darker. And my camera, in Auto mode, usually ashoots at 1/3 shutter speed, so 1/50 is considerably darker.

Tanuj, I've shot photos with my C-730 in Auto and it NEVER goes down to 1/3 of a second unless its nightime!!!! I don't know what the hell you are talking about but you obviously don't know jack about how a camera works.
I know that in auto mode, the Olympus usually opens the aperture before lowering the shutter speed to let more light in. So instead of doing 1/350th f/8 it will do 1/1000th f/3.5 (at 380mm). Even 1/350th is barely enough to get motion blur unless you're shooting something going very fast, very close up at near full zoom.
You really need to learn some BASIC stuff about photography before you start tinkering with motion blur.
I still can't beleive you think you have any photographical experience that allows you to give your opinion on what the site standards should be....or what you think a good photo looks like...
