Well I thought so as first but there doesn't look to be enough 'blurring' around the moving parts.... its all too sharp.
Unless its a photographic technique?

They're in BlenderPilot's post.
Big files so, if you're on dial-up, probably take some time to download.
Thanks to Ron German, RotorRookie and RS2 for the superb pictures and to BlenderPilot for creating the calendar.

June Calendar
Here are this month's offerings: Blender Pilot having last month raised the bench mark there is a choice of two, with further options of 'normal', and widescreen for those of you with flash new notebooks
This picture was taken by 212man a couple of years ago at Port Harcourt, Nigeria, in a typical shower of rain:
or
The RAF Sea King was photographed last year by crab@saavn in the Lake District in Cumbria, and is a Mk3A of 22 Squadron
or
I'm looking for more images to use for the August calendar.
Anyone with photos that will be suitable for the Northern Summer, and the Southern Winter, please forward them on

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but when I set either of those pictures as my background, the quality is awful???
Can anyone offer any solutions?
Thanks

I like the first one the best!
Not a sight I'll be seeing for a while, having just departed (yesterday) for the last time (never say never though!)
Thanks, John

Many thanks to John Eacott of The Helicopter Service Australia for creating this month's calendars,

Now that John and Carlos (BlenderPilot) have taken to giving us a choice each month, we need even more pics.
Please keep them coming.

Big H,
can you give us some technical requirements for the photo regarding the quality you need, etc., e.g. what resolution camera?
I've got loads from the camera on my phone, but I think 1.3 megapixel might be a bit rough-cut for what you need....
Cheers
