Nice capture Pa. However...the frozen blade is too easy to do and it does not look natural. The real challange in copter photography is to use a slower shutter speed and get a "full disk" of the rotors.

...or get enough motion in the blades to suggest that the blades are actually rotating and the world is not about to come to an abrupt end for those on board.  10-20 degrees should be enough for 3 blades, but that can vary with taste.
Cheers
reminds me of the one I took of the police chopper sussing me out the second time I got razzed by the cops armed with my 80-400 vr and my monopod.
interestingly enough I havent been hassled since I havent been using the pod. Perhaps it looks less like an rpg7 now. who knows? Or perhaps the locals have become used to the nut hiding in the bush photographing birds? Steve check out my image gallery @

it was months ago now.
well the first time it happened I was near a local boatramp when 2 cops approached me and asked what I was up to, they appeared to change attitute immediately they saw it was a camera I had. they wanted to have a look at the shot I had also, maybe to confirm I didnt have pedo shots or planning shots for a terrorist attack on my local wharf or something, but were ok. Not sure if they were on a routine patrol and decided that I may have been up to no good, or whether there were complaints. the second time a police chopper came 50 or so feet over me, obvioisly looking at me. have various sensors looking at me. so I returned the favour. although I didnt point the camera at them until I was sure they could positively id it. didnt wish to be shot. and then 2 cops on bikes came up behind me. Again it was obvious it wasnt a weapon I had and they were ok. Pissed me off at the time though. Steve check out my image gallery @

Full disk of rotors is nigh on impossible unless u have a tripod and the thing is hovering dead still. Trust me, I've tried hehe
