Challenge: Action Shot II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S3 IS
Location: Near BC / Alaska border
Date: Jul 30, 2006
Aperture: 4.0
ISO: auto
Shutter: 1/800
Galleries: Transportation
Date Uploaded: Jul 30, 2006

 This picture was taken to show off the zoom capabilities of my new Powershot S3 to the guys I work with. (I work out of a bush camp in northern BC...best job in the world...) The cord attached to the helicopter is the long line for slinging equipment, and the door is off so the pilot can lean out and see the hook and guide it in accurately.

Looking at the picture again, it wouldve made a pretty decent submission for the colour on colour challenge last week. Better than the one I submitted, anyway...

As I said last week, I'm new here, new to my camera, and relatively inexperienced in photography. I appreciate any feedback so I can learn what I'm doing right, and what I'm doing wrong.

I'm having trouble figuring out what's going on here. Where's the action?

I want to know what's at the bottom of the rope/cable?! Such a tease this image is. ;^) It's a nice shot of a helicopter. Don't take this the wrong way, but it feels a bit static - like a product shot or something. No major drama or wow factor. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

I'm missing the thing he lifts. The action is not there.

Have you tried Airliners or JetPhotos.net? Could be just a tad sharper...nice job!
