UH-60L Blackhawk in its element

I agree with the majority on the last one but I also like # 1. I also agree that it's extremely difficult getting major prop blur on the real ones, but easier on the R/C's. At least when they are on the ground only the rotors are moving, but not at flight speed.

Thank you very much for all of the kind comments.

Nice series. I wish I was more into photography when I was in the military.

asysin2leads, I wish I had gotten into it earlier as well, but even now that I have I don't find it always easy and convenient to carry and SLR and extra lenses around. But, I figured since I get out in about 6 months, better start scrounging up those last minute memories now!

Choppers are hard to get anywhere near a disc going, especially when they have large rotors & 4 of em...

=You'll need around 1/60 to 1/80th to get near a partial disc, its all about rotor speed ,...more is better...full disc ..very hard

Hard enough on small RC Choppers

Yeah, I wasn't necessarily going for a disc, but sometimes it hard even to get some 'blade blur.' These were shot around 1/125 and 1/160 which gave me (surprisingly) the look I was going for. I only say surprisingly because I didn't think I would be able to shoot that slow from another moving helicopter and still get semi-sharp images.

Are you shooting in RAW? That would give you a little more latitude to play with.
It's not a bad shot, but ask yourself this, "What's more important? The guy in the door, or the chopper outside?"

PhotosGuy, no I haven't played around in RAW too much yet. Been meaning to just haven't yet. That is a good point though about whats more important and I like the comment Equoria made to about leaving it up to the viewer. I hadn't so much noticed at the time, or wasn't thinking about and intending for it to become almost a dual perspective image but it did turn out interesting. I wanted to capture an overall picture somewhat of a third party perspective of a crew chief at work. I have thousands of pictures taken from that seat looking out the window but to show the man (or woman) behind the window I thought gives it a more unique perspective. Welcome to our office
