@Bonj: It wasn't an intentional effect... they came over that quickly I just grabbed the camera ran out and shot. The camera was still on the settings from the previous evening - wide aperture, high ISO. So in the early morning sun it turned out at very high shutter speed!

That's a Hind! I see that all the time when I play the game Call of Duty 4 on multiplayer. I would like to see one of those in real time! Good capture.

@Josh: Many thanks for your comment. I put an earlier helicopter image up at http://scotfot.aminus3.com/portfolio/65.html These guys are playing 'shoot the photographer' - OK, only joking!!!
