BRING THE NOISE

[Mike Margolis]

Very nice Joe! You even got the jamming pod's RAT props spinning! I did as well, but accidentally...

[Joe Copalman]

Thanks Mike!  Really had no choice.  At ISO3200 and f/5.6, I got 1/125th, which easily blurs the RAT spinners. 

Oh to have gotten this beauty at sunset 20 minutes earlier . . .

Interesting... Same shot at midfield - ISO 2000, 250mm, f/5.0, 1/80 (their departure surprised me - left on shutter priority for KC-130 props refueling overhead) - will process and share later

Great shot Joe, great light and the angle doesn't show the houses and cars that usually surround that LZ.
