BlenderPilot,
Thanks for your kind comments, I do like helicopters as a photographic subject above other forms of aviation.
I use all Canon gear, traditional and digital although all the shots on here are taken using the digital.
Some were taken on a D60 others on a 10D as I traded my D60 in for a 10D about 14 months ago.
I still love the quality and colour reproduction of E6 transparency film but have yet to find a good quality reasonably priced scanning service hence the images I have posted are off the digi rather than wet film.
As they are taken on the D60 or 10D they come out in the traditional wet film proportions of 6x4 so I simply resize them to 800pixels wide before I post them on here.
Cheers

Another couple of night time shots from EGBO (my local airfield).
and a couple taken on my travels

Cool shots! If we brighten up the lighting effect just slightly in the first picture, it would make a PERFECT PPRuNe calendar for August. Well, I suppose it will be cooler whether down under, but the summer storms will be in full swing up here.

Hi LafyarCocov
Picture One, The new Thames tide deflector
Picture Two the MI after Uncle toni's boys have had their way
Picture Three The M25 just before Autie Toni has had her way
Pic Four Downtown Kabul
Pic Five Even further downtown Kabul
Pic Six and rest Global Warming arrives at the Cheviot Hills

What sort of Heli is that, Puma or Seaking?

With thanks as always to John Eacott - who for reasons best known to himself was at work on Saturday! - here are some shots from the cockpit of Kuwait Police EC135s.
The first 3 are in the ILS pattern at Kuwait International:
The next 3 show that it does rain in desert countries, sometimes:
One of the local sights (biggest "dhow", or in this case mohalab, in the world):
and finally for now, back to the dashboard theme:
Pictures were uploaded to John using the new hotmail image attachment thingy which keeps file size down but limits width to 600 pixels - not always a good idea.

February Desktop Calendar
This month's calendar is the first to be produced by John Eacott.
John already does a great deal for the forum - he's one of the two volunteers who host pictures for members without their own websites - and, starting this month, John and BlenderPilot will create the calendars on alternate months. Until now, Blender (alias Carlos) has created every calendar since we started producing them more than a year ago.
The picture we've chosen for this month's calendar isn't pretty or striking in the way the others have been, but it is intended as a Rotorheads tribute to all the helicopter crews who are working hard in difficult conditions to alleviate the terrible suffering caused by the tsunami disaster - including Vertalop from Malaysia who took the picture we've used.

Many thanks to John Eacott and Vertalop.

TI,
It does need a wash badly but I ran out of duty time and the water restrictions aren't helping either! The rain associated with the storm wasn't heavy enough for me to get out there in my Reg Grundy's and do it either!
