A few close-up heli shots

Taken at RIAT but only just got round to processing them!

Superbly crisp shots

Might have been nice to get a bit more of the rotor blur in some of them, but excellent shots regardless.

Know what you mean about the rotor blur but I didn't want to push my luck! These were taken at 1/160th with a focal length of 420mm from memory.

#4 is the pick of the bunch for me there Tim, really nice image.

A little more blur would be nice but the props on those merlins are so slow! I tried a couple at 1/100th but there still wasn't enough blur and most were terrible - I think you did a great job at that focal length to get a nice sharp image

I love four, none of the others really jump, but bloody sharp for 1/160 handheld :O

Up here in Aberdeen we have 3 Heliports operating for the North Sea, you have inspired me to get along and try to photograph them. Thanks

Some nice shots here Tim, look a tad over-exposed if I'm been honest.
