What I did yesterday...
 

G'day all,

Excuse me if I'm a little excited, but guess what I got to do for the first time yesterday?

I'll give you a few clues.

Yep. I did my first, dedicated air to air photo shoot yesterday! :D

What a buzz! :-D I never realised just how hard it would be though. Boy, what a workout.

My deepest thanks to the guys and girls at Air Action in the Hunter valley for the opportunity.

Cheers,
A very happy Motty.

Gold!!

What was the photo ship?

Thanks Adam. :D

I was in the Yak in the middle of this shot. Open canopy and all! :D

Darren,
Some nice shots there, congrats!
What a buz huh? :)

Awesome shots darren,

just a question how was all that organized?

i can't imagine you paid for the hire of all three aircraft.'

Cheers

Adam

What camera gear are you using these days Motty?

G'day Adam,

I was asked to to the shoot by the guys at Air Action so that they could get some advertising material together.

You're right, there's no way in the world I could afford to do it myself. Mind you, thousands of dollars in fuel, aircraft and people's time as well as the expectations of a "customer"? No pressure at all!? :o

Cheers,
Motty.

G'day Andrew.

I've got a Canon 400D + Canon 17-85mm IS + a Canon 40D + Sigma 50-500mm.

Although, for this shoot, I put the 17-85 on the 40D for (hopefully) best results.

Cheers,
Motty.

Many thanks Scott.

Yes, it was brilliant (although I do remember thinking at the time; "this is damn hard work!" ;) ).

Cheers,
Motty.

Excellent shots Darren.:)
