Great capture with what I assume is the 70-300 :D

How did you ever guess? :wink: Heavily cropped of course.

Yep, it was one of the few times I put it on. Boy was it worth carrying all those miles for just this one shot.

Are you sure that's not a photoshopped helicopter? :D
Seriously though, that's a really great capture.

Wow, this flying guy should be very happy with his new found popularity. I believe he was posing for me. :wink:

While it is a great capture of a small, fast moving subject, I'd rather be seeing his face that his ass :)

that is a fantastic shot. makes me want to sit out in the yard and hope for similar luck before the mosquito season really kicks in.
