a few out-takes from the san diego mag shoot.

tips for shooting from a helicopter:
1.  don't eat a big lunch
2.  minimize composing images though the viewfinder
3.  have a shot list and plan of attack for a flight path
4.  dress warm
5.  buckle in
6.  as you climb, have read the altimeter to you can give the pilot altitude direction when your shooting - most of my shots were 100-500 feet, and now i know just about exactly where to be to communicate it

have fun!

if anyone wants to go on a helicopter shoot, we can share the cost;-)

Aaron says: It does look really fun... I'm also interested in the cost. Also, what was the problem with composing through the viewfinder... too sporadic? (03.26.10 @ 11:57 AM)
