I just finished uploading 17 new pics to my smugmug account here

The majority of the shots have people in them so I decided to post this here. I have finally had the opportunity to get some shots of some Iraqi's in their element. I was on a flight three days ago and had the opportunity to sit in the back instead of fly which doesnt happen for me very much. I had a perfect view out of the gunners window to take these shots. Please understand though that I was shooting with my Sigma 70-200 EX on board and shot shutter priority at 500. ISO was 100. I only had about a half second to get every one of these shots as the aircraft was flying at about 140 knots which is the same as about 260 km/h or 160 miles/hr. Needless to say 1/500 was not fast enough. Lesson learned, but some of the shots still turned out all right. Not as sharp as I would have liked, but I know how to fix that next time. Please let me know what you think and which ones you like the best. Enjoy.
Mike

Sigma SD9, SD14, and DP1

    Great set Mike! I especially like the gunner in the open door. You have some really unique opportunities!
