Still, having a 400mm lens will definatly help you do that LOL.
HELOfan - Thanks for the kind words...

Good copy on the 400mm...What also helps is that since I shoot digital without a full-frame sensor I get a crop factor equivalent to 600mm. Using a VR lens makes a ton of difference as well.

Great for getting shots like these...

Blue skies...
Given the conditions, I think this paint job qualifies as a camo scheme.

AFCSoff.

Fantastic pictures. What a great eye you have. All the photos are brilliant, but I think the 109's are really good. Thanks for posting.

Bronx, What lens or filter did you use to get that effect on the osprey rotors? Great Effect photo by the way. Born2fly

B2F: it's not the lense/filter, they're tip vortices. You will see them from helicopters too, particularly in humid conditions. Many is the time I've watched a helicopter take off or land and think "I wish I had my camera!" It's also the same effect you'll see from a fast jet doing a display.
