I would like to know if he was photographing Trump’s previous three to five rallies, or conveniently just this one, at a ridiculously high shutter speed.
Have to agree with you here, but, separating the subject from background is more of an f-stop thing, but, you clearly press a shutter button now and again, haha
I know, he's got to compensate for the aperture by cranking up the shutter speed. That or get an ND filter but adding glass can introduces reflections.
Shutter doesn't separate subject from background, fstop does. Shutter is for freezing or dragging motion. And 1/8000 shutter is ridiculous. Maybe photographers have just gotten lazy with the advancement of technology these days. Unless he has very shaky hands or planned on capturing a head exploding, I don't see why the hell he would shoot at 1/8000th.
Didn't say the shutter did. That's two sentences. The f stop is 1.6. The shutter had to be 1/8000th of a second. Go outside and expose for the sky at f1.8 or f1.4 if you have a lens that fast.
Also as stated in another post he was trying to capture the flag waving.
You don't need 1/8000 shutter speed to capture a flag moving, that is insane. And in my job i mostly shot at 1.4 - 2.0 outdoors in sunlight and never EVER did I need to crank my shutter speed that high.

He's not Trumps personal photographer. He's not going to be at every rally sequentially. That's a ridiculous standard.

Secondly the shutter speed isn't ridiculous. It's sunny, and he's trying to separate trump from the background.
