Finally had an op to shoot something other than sports.
Going for a photo journalistic look. Did I achieve it?

I think the tape being OOF would've looked better. Anke

Nice touch to have it in the photo...but maybe not so prominent. Jim B.

I think the second shot's grand. Gear Listhttp://www.codastudios.com.au

I would have moved the tape lower though so it didn't cut across the middle of the helicopter or other action. 2 Samuel 9:7-8, "So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”

Any lower and the stretcher gets obscured, any higher and the rescue workers head gear get obscured. ChrisVLinton.com
