Hi Folks.
It was the Isle of Wight pop/rock festival recently and I thought I would go and stake out the pop up heliport to see if there were any celebs arriving by chopper, didn't spot any that I recognised, but I did get some shots of helicopters that I thought I would share.
I was hoping to get a shot of the Who arriving but apparently they used an alternative more private helipad! :(

Just how I imagine a pilot, white shirt and aviator shades, cool black ride.

Running up for takeoff, shows the rudimentary nature of the heliport.

Coming in to land, liked this one as it was slow shutter and still sharp.

Hi there all members! I've been a follower of CR for some years and I have to say that it has taught me a lot. Now it's about time I contribute some. To start me off I would like to share som photos from the Bernt Balchen Air Show at Kjevik Airport Norway in 2012. I plan to post more and different stuff later on. The pictures were taken with a 1D mark III with a 70-200 f/4L IS and a 1.4 II TC.

Hi Roo.
Yes I was having fun, trying to learn to use new capabilities like better high ISO by letting auto ISO look after things when I change shutter speed and better tracking and exposure compensation in manual mode. I was shooting a slow shutter speed and a high shutter speed for each shot. This also served to practice my panning.

Cheers, Graham.

Nice job Graham. I flicked through a few on Flickr - looks like you were having a bit of fun playing with shutter speed :)

Hi Serendipidy.
Looking at what you just posted, to me you have no reason to feel in awe of any of the postings, that is a very nice series of the Blue Angels.
I particularly like the shot with the control surfaces reflecting the sun.

Cheers, Graham.
