20140807 - Broken Duck

No - not the helicopter - me. Until this morning I'd never flown - now I have - in THAT - with all the doors open (so I could get out and walk if I decided I didn't like it) :o)
They said we weren't officially allowed to take piccies, but if the shutter did accidentally release not to put them onto social media - well I don't think PBase counts as that, but even so, I've put a few in a hidden/password protected gallery.

I had no idea of camera settings for 'air-to-ground', 'in-flight' etc etc so I plumped for the old adage of "f/8 and Be There" :o)


other sizes: small medium large original auto

How exciting! Was in a helicopter once when Slane was first used as a concert venue and they were trying to drum up some publicity for a little band called The Rolling Stones.

No way, not with the door open....clearly you took this before since there's no camera shake ;)

Oh what fun ... Flying for the first time, and in a welliplopper at that ... and then breaking the rules!
Fantastic, can't wait to see what naughtiness you get up to tomorrow.

well done on breaking the duck - my Dad took me for a light on holiday when I was 7 years old and so was hooked after that!
