With the right sort of vehicle you could probably get free venison as well .... plenty of it based on what Steve mentioned.

You do end up taking some interesting shots while doing model shoots for a laugh.

And cars written off in the process... they are big buggers with nasty pointy antler things! One went through the windscreen of a mate's car last month... venison on lap - not so good.

Great pics Lloyd /\ /\

I would not claim to be anything anywhere close to an expert viewer of aviation shots but I can't recall see anything before quite like the spinning blades in top image.

And the control of DR, especially in the blacks of the guy's wet suit (if that is what it is), in the second image is great. It looks like high speed and flash - but is it? Really good stuff.

What do the crews think?

I think its probably been done before, just a 30 sec exposure to get the movement as they ran the blades up to remove excess water. Although I can't recall seeing a photo like it were they are spraying water on it as well, might be why its my favourite I guess!

No flash, my only regret is not getting a flashgun especially for the cockpit shots. Think the diffused light helped :-)

Thanks for the feedback guys!

As for the crews, I think they're pretty pleased with them. They saw what I was shooting and didn't expect the images to come out like this which must be good, waiting to hear if they'll be used in an article though so fingers crossed!

Cars maybe not so good.

How would a Hummer fare?

Beyond that I guess you would need either something armoured or a large truck - the sort with an engine poking out at the front and bull-bars.

Some years back a Traffic Officer on another forum posted a photo of his Volvo 'Office' Patrol Car after an incident with a deer in the middle of the night. Good job he was not on a motorbike.

30 seconds - how did you get the windsock to stay still? wink

Good luck with the article. I know these things can be quite hit and miss but when it gets to publication needs but they certainly look well above 'good enough to print' level to my eyes.

Been a while since I have posted as I appear to have got worse than better at this game! However, my little munchkins continue to be good subject matter and now they are two and a bit Christmas has suddenly taken on meaning and the excitement is palpable...

Full moon over Nottingham City Council House yesterday evening. More 'straight out of the camera' Sony RX100 goodness...
