That Bell 430 in your Iceland pics looks like a certain Miami Dolphins N430WH or N431WH .
Actually who operates that 430 in Iceland?

Chopper 2004,
Stunning pictures from very unusual locations.
I'm now going to risk being shot down by people who really know their photography. Have you considered changing the settings on your camera so that when taking pictures of snowscapes you increase the aperture/ reduce the shutter speed by a couple of stops? Unless you have a special setting to help compensate, then the metering on cameras will average out the light level to what is considered a "normal" setting (I think it equates to an 18% grey, whatever that might mean...). Snowfields come out looking dark and dingy as a result.
I was playing with your pics in Photoshop Elements and simply lightening the shadows had a very realistic effect - lifelike sky and landscape colours. Worth a try?

This is the older Miami Dolphins N430WH(1998) now TF-HMK it is operated by Helicopter Service of Iceland (HSI) and it is listed for sale on the web somewhere as well as the the second MD Bell430 N430WH (2006)
Chopper2004 the one you posted from airliners is the same in my pic.
You can see the new N430WH under May08 on Bell 2008 calendar if you have it, same colors but slighty diffrent paint shceme.

Chopperpug" is that ZS-HUC?
Although he doesn't remember the little woofs in the port side fuse'. He does remember it as an excellent machine, muttered something about how much beef one could bring home in the pods.
cheers tet

Few pics I shot yesterday morning here in Kiwiland. Went out hunting with Toby and HOT, following them around for a couple of hours in INM and then jumped in the back seat of HOT for the up close and personal pics.
