Outside pruning the bougainvillia this afternoon while this bad boy was doing orbits of what appeared to be the Vermont Shopping Centre. Must have done 8 circuits. Got four good photos, the first chance I've had to use the camera in about 15 months.

Good picture Peter.

We had a chopper doing powerline inspections around here a couple months back, despite him being about 100ft from me the pictures were crap!

Here is another shot, on another orbit, after editing. The chopper, by the way, is a Leonardo AW139.

 

 

Here is the original unedited photo, which will give some idea of how far away he was. The photo was taken with a 24x zoom lens at full telephoto extension.
