Some Queenstown Pics.Thanks to Greg,Ian and Ben for getting me this far.













Most impressive.Fast low pass with full noise close to the edge of my house.

WICKED Capture Ian , I'm still learning the camera skills , not so strange both Greg and myself did a stint month so back .. I was always caught out by the speed , these are real action photos

[scaber]

Congratulations Ian. Great place to live with that close by fly pass with the corner of your house showing. I'm sure Ian W. is going to be most jealous of where you live, I know I am.

Jealous as hell , but mind you we do get it good here on a North Wester .. But nothing like this

[scaber]

Just to give an appreciation of Ian's home in terms of the airport and the approach, I took this from his balcony a few weeks ago. It also makes you realise that the runway is anything but flat in Queenstown. Admittedly it was with a biggish lens but being able to view everything from the windows as they approached on finals was just magic....

[Ian Warren]

One hell off a description showing the levels ... so brilliant Greg .

[hoki1185]

Thanks Greg for your help and encouragement.A few more pivcs now that I'm getting the hang of it.

Your have the right tutor as far as photo is concerned in Greg ... SIMPLY BRILLIANT Ian , great captures

[hoki1185]

Last couple.Having trouble getting more than 4 or 5 on posting despite Greg's tutorlage.

Wow these are Insane pics!! what kind of camera are you using?

[scaber]

Well now Ian, I'm impressed with these shots. The trouble is that they are very similar to my best ones so have had to go back through and select some different ones from our photo outing. Hopefully these won't be the same as any others that you are planning to submit.

These bring back good memories of the occasion, so much that I suspect a return visit will be in order next year!

IDQ, I see my mountain bike going for a ride , cheeky buggers i'd better check my shed ! .. I was not on that helicopter

Just a superb series of photos .. Love em !

I like that last one Greg and the chopper against the' Remarks'(what the locals call the Remarkables.Dash8,I'm no photographer,just point and shoot on auto.Use a Canon 550D with 55-250mm lens.

Yes, I like those ones as well; I particularly like the runway reflection in the last one so you can see which runway is in use.
