p.1 #1 · Helo Operations -- Wildlands Firefighting

A few months back, I came up on a wildfire in central Wyoming. I've just got around to processing them.

Luckily I had two cameras along. I had a Nex 5n with my Tair 3 300mm F4.5 Preset mounted to it and my D600 with a 50mm F1.8G lens.

It was near sunset and the low light, with the very heavy smoke made for some somewhat difficult photography. The fully manual Tair 3 didn't make it any easier

Hope you like them.

Good captures, a little slower shutterspeed might have served these well to show rotary wing motion.

Thanks. Yeah, I could have went a LITTLE slower, but I was using a Nex 5n, which has no shake reduction. That coupled with using a large HEAVY 300mm (450 equiv.) lens means I like to keep shutter speed up around 1/500 sec. to keep the images sharp.
