Imagine finding new perspectives, after all those years of screenshotting!
Marty these are great.
Nice of the little Bell to line up its rotor, eh?
And the first one (did you know its given handle is "Tarhe" - I didn't) is pure aviation art.

Thanks for looking and the comments gentlemen. It really started as a study of the shadows , the Chinook for example casts an interesting one from that angle (at that time of day)

Sean , that back ground is default Edwards (apron)

Thanks again.

Interesting the different blade setups on these 'copters. Since they're all airfoils generating lift some need fewer than others - lots of factors involved here but, since I never rode in one during my forty odd years of flying, it's always been a grayish area. Your shots were the usual TEN.

"Imagine finding new perspectives, after all those years" You actually got me on this track Charl , after commenting on a post i did some time ago.
Cant recall the actual shot , but it was a look down type shot , that combined with the shadow thing .
Thanks again for looking.

Very good idea, Marty!
I like those rotor's shadows.

Well done,
