Mountain Rescue

[Darren Turner]

RAF Seaking helicopter from RAF valley on Anglesey rescuing a hill walker who had run into difficulties on the 2nd largest mountain in wales, that happens to be in my back garden lol

Taken at 400mm end of my 100-400 L Lens

That second shot is great Daz. Good sense of scale anda nice spot of motion blur on the rotors.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, and with the men visible in the side too nice shots mate!
The second is also my favorite, but could it be a bit taller?

 

[Darren Turner]

TALLER..... haha

well it could but i was in a cropping mood.........!!

 

[Laurie Parker]

Nice shots of the chopper Darren, Im with Hamish though bit taller for me also haha, I think the crop works on the one with the trees though but no1 the copter looks like its trapped and has no space left to fly into does that make sense lol? With no2 a little larger showing more of the rugged mountainside would for me show the terrain these guys have to work in whilst searching etc.
Still fab captures though * thumbs up*

The 2nd one certainly holds my attention the most although they are all good and wouldn't be out of place on a news website. Looks like you have a rather nice back garden, perfect for BBQ's!

Lighting and angle of view for #2 are superb - using the long lens to pin the copter against the rugged terrain really makes the shot - and the nice rotor blur as Pete mentioned.

So, we've got you cropping then!
