Talk about action shots

My new colleague is into aviation photography....from the air. He's taken shots for most of the US Military and I cannot believe how good some of his shots are.

If you get a chance to check them out, Rick's site is www.dash2.com.

I definitely plan on being his assistant the next time he goes for a shoot if he'll let me. Taking shots from the back of a C130's open gate... insane.

I've only checked his top 10 & a few others but he's talented with a great seat. I'll be spending more time exploring his site as the weekend goes by.

Some of his stories about when he flies in the gunner seat of a fighter are pretty funny. Pilots telling him "I'm the important person in this cockpit. Don't touch the eject handles since I won't turn around to get you"

That second shot on his top 10 is him turning his 5D to take a snap of himself. Right before he hurled.
