Some chinese ship grounded last week. To get the ship free from the sea-bottom a lot of material was shipped in and a lot more spectators joined to see the big show. Also there were some aircraft watching and working at the scene.
1 First picture is from the ship, just to show how BIG / HUGE it is.
2 Chopper is being use as air-taxi.

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

In fact, it couldn'tAmazing that this thing can keep afloat
Great shots Nusty. How many mm's did you use to get NHX so full-frame? Or is it very heavily cropped?
To me the shot of NHX in front of the cables is an absolutely stunning picture. But the seemingly air-to-airs of the Coastguard are beauties as well!

Thank you guys !
The exif is showing one second between shot 7 and 8 !! Can you imagine how hard the aircraft was banking.

I used the 100-400 in combination with 1.4 TC @ 560mm and then had to crop it. Actual picture is 1280 or something, but I scaled i t down to 1024.Basman wrote:Great shots Nusty. How many mm's did you use to get NHX so full-frame? Or is it very heavily cropped?
