Whirlibird

Remember some time back I said I had been asked to photograph an Infantry Battalion preparing for deployment to operational theatre?

Well I've spent last week doing just that - I have about 400 images to sort through!!!

Here are just a few of a helicopter which was used during the exercise.







just one of an assault on an enemy position



I've lots more to come once I've checked them through.

Re: Whirlibird

It was worth it for that first pic alone! Really like the angle, and shutter speed used.

I like the feeling of movement in the last one too.

Re: Whirlibird

Cheers Azz - photographing helicopters brings it's own problems. There is nothing worse than a picture of a helicopter with it's blade frozen in mid flight. Too slow and the blades become a too much of a blur.

Isn't this why we love taking pictures....there is no one simple solution and we are constantly trying to evaluate the image in front of us to photograph it.

Re: Whirlibird

Great action shots Jack no1 and no4 for me, No1 because you have captured the helicopter moving , but the motion in the blades is spot on. No4 is a great shot because it has a timeless quality to it, turn it black and white, and it could be from another era, okay the uniform and equipment would be different, but you get the idea. Plus, I really like the light and feel in the image.
I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the shots. xx

Re: Whirlibird

1 and 3 are brill. I like 3 with the troops running to the waiting helicopter. If I was picky a little seperation of the two figures with one a little more left. But the picture has all the feel they are to be evacuated from field.

Re: Whirlibird

I know nothing, but for some reason I do really like No. 3, I suppose because it looks as though they are in action so to speak? Don't know, but I like it.
