Ray could you reduce the size of the photo so it will fit on the screen - I can't appreciate it properly when I have to keep scrolloning to see bits of it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I'm assuming you need the shutter speed just right to get the rotor blades looking right, you have that just right, what shutter speed did you use?

The shutter speed seems just right to convey the rotation. Well done.
I would perhaps waited a second, to get the landing gear just clear of the roofs and treetops...

Yep the second one is better! The rotors look just right and it is in clear ar.
Hopefully the person they came to airlift out is doing OK?

The call-out was for an electrocution. No-one was airlifted away and the original ambulance left at a normal pace - didn't look like a positive outcome to me, unfortunately.Hopefully the person they came to airlift out is doing OK?

I would tinker about with Shadows & Highlights to bring out more detail in the helicopter.
Yep. Much better!

Right, have a look here (I'm not sure how to constrain the display size, rather than re-size the image).

Crowborough,
East Sussex,
UK.
The Kent Air Ambulance landed about 300 metres from my house today. A great piece of flying to get close to the casualty. I wish I could have done the take-off more justice.
