Helicopter in public park

[Craigie]

Whilst on my way to take some photos in the local park (South Inch), this helicopter landed about 400 yards from me.
All the emergency services were there. Not sure if it was a real emergency or a drill practise.
It was to good an opportunity to miss.
C&C welcome

It was a real emergency, Gary. Apparently there was someone in the River Tay.

Good pics.

An opportunity seen and taken. I really like the second shot. Makes me feel like I'm right there. Well done.

Good pics.

Thanks Donald.
The helicopter was searching the River Tay around 16.00 tonight, so I thought this is a chance to see how my Canon 6D worked in low light.
I must say I am impressed, the only light was the lights in and on the helicopter.
C&C welcome

Good series Gary,

My fav is #2 for the detail and turbine heat haze

#5 and #6 are impressively sharp for the ISO used.

Thanks for sharing these, great set. I'm with Dave, I like the heat signature of the engine in the lift off shot.

A nice series of images but it is sad to see that it was a real emergency.

[Shadowman]
