hehe:) nice work, and difficult! (I am a helpilot)

by the way, what was your shutter speed during rec? the rotor blade is so jello...
 
That helo is steady as a rock. I'm always impressed by those. Not quite a pilot here yet (expensive!), but I know enough to realize how much trust is going on in that scene.

The first still photo was 1/400 sec @F11 200 ISO and HD video is set to auto unless you want to pick an aperture F stop or spot metering mode etc. The Pentax K-7 software does not show anything in video about shutter speed. I would think all CMOS DSLRs including the Canon 5D MkII show the same jello effect.
 
That's pretty awesome. Knowing what it takes to fly a helicopter only makes it more impressive :D

I can see a teeny bit of rolling shutter in the third one. Nothing detrimental to the image though. Very impressive.
 
Haha the pilot and the guy on the side were probably talking about you. They must have seen you since you were standing there for several minutes :)
