A few shots with the Leica IIIf and Summitar will have to wait for processing, but the Telyt-R 250 found a couple of subjects that were interesting. A beautiful homebuilt airplane, an RV-7A, taxied in on arrival: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Arrival+of+Experimental+Aircraft.jpg.html A Eurocopter medical evac helicopter was parked on the ramp. After a warmup period to get the twin turbos comfortable, it lifted off smoothly: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Airborne+74.jpg.html As the Eurocopter departed, the heat from the twin turbojets made blurs beneath the rotor and tail: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Departure+79.jpg.html All with the Olympus E-510 and Leica Telyt-R 250/4 on monopod Comments and critiques welcomed.
