Lifeflight shot

Lifeflight landed at the event for a short time. I was lucky to be almost under it when it landed. Good traffic control help is hard to find. I could not get any slower shutter speed without blowing out the picture due to the brightness thus not a lot of blade blur. Second needs to be straightened but it's Saturday and I am relaxing.

what speed did you use on that shot.those are nice

pretty sweet.
the only thing i'd rather do than be a firefighter/paramedic is be a medic on one of those. but even that is a toss up

Nice!

thanks for the info

I know you probably know what you are doing so I am not trying to insult your intelligence, but you were shooting at f/5, why couldn't you bump that up and decrease shutter speed?

No insult at all.

The issue was that I had 2 cameras around my neck with my videocamera and he came in fast. I didn't have time to really adjust the shot but wanted to make sure I got something. I just got done shooting a static heli that was there and was using F/5 for DoF.

nice shots. i love the look of the clouds in the first one.
