Finally got my big azz in a chopper to shoot some go-fasts...

3rd Annual Ft Myers Offshore Thanksgiving Fun Run- two groups ran outside and inside from Sanibel Bridge to South Seas Resort on Captiva.

Can't wait to do it again. Thought maybe you guys might like to see the pix... Ft Myers Offshore 2008 Turkey Run - a set on Flickr (the slideshow is a good way to see 'em...)

Unbelievable Photo's!! :)

You should shoot for a boating magazine (if you don't already)

BTW, I'm not sure if you ever called me or not?

Thanks, Dave... nothing regular w/the mags (yet)... they use one every now and then.

I'll touch base with you this week, thanks.

images are very clear. What is is your camera and set up you were using?

In my world, clear and sharp is the point. ;)
I shoot with a Nikon D300. These images were captured with a Nikkor 70-300mm lens.
I used a speed setting (1/2000th sec) to negate any vibration from the chopper.

I think it worked. :beer

Damn.. They are all beautiful. I would also love to try it.. pls..

In south Florida the going rate is 625-650/hr for rental. :champagne:
that's for a Robinson 44, and they will remove a door for you, which is nice.
