badass pics. helicopters are fun to shoot.

 

They are very fun to shoot, and when they hover 10 feet above you, it's even more fun.

 

Nice pics. Helicopter shots FTMFTW

 

Awesome pics Justin. I think I like the last pic best.

 

Thanks Guys! I have been at work nonstop for the past week or so, so I only have what I posted and this shot done so far...




It's not me, but it's one of the other members at the unit that participated in the training.

 

In future, on shots like that last one, you may find that the pop up flash will help expose your subject so that it matches the background more closely.

 

I would have loved to do that, but you can't use flash when taking pictures of CG Helo's. The pilot has to concentrate on where the boat is at and what the basket is doing and the flash has the opportunity to distract the pilot. Thank you for the suggestion though.

 

LOL. Your pop-up flash isn't strong enough to cause distraction from hundreds of feet away, but I understand.

I have a friend that's an officer for the USCG down in Miami, sounds like an interesting job for sure.
