Once again thank you very much for visits, favorite and comments. It's much appreciated.
Easter Sunday 2017 find: Purple maple seed. We called these helicopters growing up in Ohio, but others call them whirligigs - hours of fun.

Great place to photograph helicopters, they teach pilots how to fly there, so one taking off & landing all day
Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron FOUR ZERO (HSM 40)
When there is a bad accident or someone is very sick out here in the desert Mercy Air comes out to pick them up and transport them to the hospital. When they come out here they land on the baseball field that is right next door to my house.
It was at our mall picking up an old air conditioner from the roof and then putting a new one back up. It was getting a lot of attention. People were all around the mall taking pictures with their phones. That map location shown is not correct.

OR, it might just be refraction patterns caused by surface wavelets creating bands of shadow on the muddy lakebed below.

Rushing to the Rescue - Coastguard Sikorsky s-92 G-MCGJ on a winching exercise with Criccieth RNLI 18/06/15
Just a shot of a helicopter just taken off from a garden over on the other side of the railway line - they do have big gardens over there . It always strikes me how helicopters dip or lean over to one side when taking off or landing .
Grab shot having just heard it start up and luckily the camera with the telephoto is kept handy for diving out to capture aircraft going over that are of interest . Trouble is when the Spitfire goes over it has gone by the time I get outside - it ofen passes over on it's way to Blackbushe or Kemble .
Bell UN-1N Iroquois (212) s/n 31067 (1969) USAF 69-6661 1st Helicopter Squadron (HS) 89th AW, Andrews AFB, MD @ Thunder over Michigan Air Show, Detroit / Willow Run Airport, MI
A Hughes 369D type 550 I am led to believe and it was first registered in 1982 !!
This is a massively rushed shot as in the middle of doing something else I heard the helicopter starting up and realised it was in the garden of a house on the other side of the nearby railway line - there are some pretty big houses over there !! Anyway , but the time I had got outside and spotted where it was going to appear it left little or no time to get anything , once above the tree line there was only seconds and it was behind a neighbours roof and it was away !!
Therefore , not as crisp a shot as I would like . I think my panning needs a lot more practice and for rapid shots I think I prefer the 70 - 300mm Canon lens as it is very quick focussing and a good all round lens , just a bit short of reach compared to the !00 - 400mm Sigma used here ( because that was the lens on the camera !! ) .
A Monochrome wide angle HDR panorama of Johannesburg, looking East, taken from a Helicopter piloted by Susan Prinsloo. The POV was approximately above Park station as we headed East from Soweto and the Helicopter pilots' training fields. Processed and converted into Monochrome on Snapseed.
Slowed the shutter speed here to 1/100th of a second to keep the rotors in motion as the helicopter flew by. Just need to keep a steady hand on the long lens at this slow a shutter speed. The image stabilizer at this speed helps a lot too.

Shot from the ground laying on my back as the pilot took passes over me.
Fairly dangerous as they were low to the ground and the pilot was being repeatedly strobed in the face.

Pocket Wizard triggered SB-800 on the dash gelled 1 CTB and another behind the pilot gelled 1 CTO.
I kinda hate this one just because it shows me how sharp the others aren't. It was tough because you have to shoot at 1/50th - 1/100th to get good rotor blur. And they were moving fast...
I like how this looks air-to-air. It's not. Perry just dropped the nose and did some low, fast fly-bys, which made it look as if we were up there with him because there is no reference point to reveal the dipped nose.
