Anti aircraft fire being tested in Essex 
Just wait for the Photoshop bombardment!!! It looks perfectly real to me... but the blades are clearly far too close!
Is it the angle its taken at?

I must suggest that you are having a real lend of us.
1) there is no indentation where the skids have penetrated the snow.
2) assuming that the snow is soft enough for the skids to easily penetrate, why then are there no swirling vortices in the blade tip region?
you lose
3) I have witnessed a 47 blade not quite as close as that to recently rained on red ground, and the vortices were at least twelve inches high each time a blade went past.
4) why not land on top of firm footing on the rock a little ways up hill?
besides all that how come there is f'all pitch on the blades?
gees maaaate.

Hosepipe to Helicopter!
The picture (4012) of the models spraying a low flying Angel CH-7 helicopter is from quite an extensive photographic portfolio featuring some very lovely models and several helicopter types, but mainly the CH-7.
I'm too computer illiterate to post a link.

Although the MD portfolio is much nicer, IMHO

Photoshop is for p.....'s!
Aser, excellent picture! A tad beyond what I feel happy with for clearance, but hey!
I saw something similar from New Zealand some years ago, but can't find the picture. It was a 355 on a glacier-rescue. Not as steep slope, but those 355-blades are a bit longer though.
It seems that some pprune'rs when they see a picture of a situation(or whatever being displayed) that might be (is) out of their own capacity have to discredit or seriuosly question the topic.
topendtorque, gees maate, you've got talent

That Bo105 pic is real.
Its funny the things people come up with to try to prove something isnt real. The ratio of tail rotor blurring to main rotor blurring is totally inacurate. Totally fake.

Why Thanks Nubian
but if it's the blade vortices to which you refer, I was never that smart, I only witnessed them, I wasn't flying them.

thanks , yes that photo has been around for about ten years (if not fifty) before your first post.
you're obviously fair dinkum, I'll go quietly.
BTW could you post us a photo of the same machine with the same weight on board and from the same aspect in a hover so's we can all look at the disc loading. maybe you should do something about your oil burn off as well, or is that normal for throttle off.
