 comment Why is this aerial picture of an airplane in flight not blurry?
Yeah, but for prop-spin photos at those shutter speeds, a photographer at an airfield would be more likely to be panning to follow the aircraft - that won't be the case here.

 comment Why is my ISO so high in auto mode?
The 7D v2 firmware includes menu support for limiting the max ISO that the camera will choose in Auto ISO. A 7D bought in the last 6 months at least should have the v2 firmware.

 comment Why is my ISO so high in auto mode?
Just a pedantic clarification. A 7D will refuse to shoot if it cannot focus using One Shot AF. However for those of us who e.g. have it set to use Back Button Focussing and AI-Servo, it will happily take a shot without confirming focus.

 comment Who owns the copyright of a picture taken of my construction work?
@guisasso: IANAL either, but I'm not sure that I agree with your assertion that he directly benefited from your work. He was hired by the architect for his photography skills to take photographs; what he was contracted by the architect to take photos of seems irrelevant. That's his job, he takes photos; you haven't provided details of why his photos are much more valuable than any of his other professional photos just because they're of your work.

 comment Which is a better way to store your photos? RAW or TIFF?
@Itai: saving your raws as DNG allows you to update the embedded thumbnail at any stage (for example in Lightroom) to match the currently defined raw parameters.

 comment Why does Lightroom 4 CR2 “Edit in Photoshop” make a TIF file?
There are quite a lot of advantages of TIFF over PSD; see the link in my comment above.

photo.stackexchange.com/questions/12655/… includes a discussion of the relative merits of TIFF over PSD.

 comment Will stacked ND filters perform as well as a single 10 stop ND filter?
The equipment description on the 500px page includes the word "torch", so that's probably the off-camera light source (a bit of light-painting), and I agree with jrista, this is almost certainly moon-lit. I just noticed that the tags even include the words "night photography" and "nocturnal".

 comment What legal issues are there with selling photographs of white river rafting companies?
Surely you'd only need a release if the people were identifiable? (Disclaimer: I'm no expert and I'm in NZ...)
