Mankind's Response to Nature
Taken on the edge of Chichester Harbour, which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Apologies to 'justgetoutandride' for using the same subject matter, but I went out for a quick walk today along the edge of the harbour and was appalled at the amount of discarded litter (including a television set) so I ended up photographing some of it.

Fantastic body language.
The image is just a bit too dark in the shadows, but otherwise pretty good.

Just do as I suggest and you'll have the best of both worlds.
Don't over do it tho' unless you want a sureal image.
edit: or buy a Metz 58 AF-1 - cracking flash
edit again ! actually that would be rubbish here on the shiny metal ... I'll shut up now
Would it be possible for you to have a 'tinker' with the image to demonstrate your point :You can win !!

Whilst I agree that some areas are now too bright, you can now see the detail in the helicopter and that is the point of the photograph Hyram wrote:
You must have a very dark monitor then Hyram Quote:

Helicopters are difficult subjects, since you mainly end up photographing the dark underbelly against a bright sky.

My view would be to start saving for a DA* 300, which is perfectly useable handheld or with a monopod.
Assuming that the price falls a bit, you will probably only need to save £2 per day

Give the MV and 50mm to a deserving youngster.
Bin the two zooms.
Keep the 135 and 24 for yourself.
