I for one would like to see all of you get the hell out of here! Your childish bickering is serving no purpose at all. If you want to continue this, please take it to private email.
For that matter, this entire forum is next to useless. It seems that anyone with any USEFUL knowledge is keeping it to themselves for fear of being bashed, or for fear of creating “competition”. I believe that those of us who come here hoping for help with our problems are kidding ourselves. I for one could care less about framing shots, cropping, fast or slow shutter speeds, etc. What I would like to see are pictures with comments about the helicopter and mount used, camera brand and model, film speed, shutter speed, type of shock mounting, downlink type/power/antennas, ground support equipment, etc. This is the kind of information I can use. We can all learn about photographic techniques and technical jargon from text books. There are none available for this specialized type of photography so please don’t preach to us about our lack of expertise. Show us pictures you have taken and tell us how you did it please! If you are worried about creating competition for your business then please just keep off the list and keep your poison pens to yourselves.
Consider this my formal complaint to the owner of this list. Please do not let these few discontents destroy a forum that has a potential for being helpful to us ‘newbies’.
Later;
D.W.
ps I feel better now  |
