Helicopter was over reserve as well this afternoon. This is 500mm plus x1.4 extender, quite a big blow up for this.
Nice sharp image Graham, think shutter speed could have been lower to show some motion in the rotors. I don't think the overall image would have suffered from a slower shutter speed, given the mass of the aircraft.
Easy with hindsight!
I did the same thing with a similar aircraft in Glen Brittle on the Isle of Skye this summer, 1/1000sec @ f/6.3 ISO200 with the D3. The rugged Quairing rocky mountains form the background. The helicopter climbed to the top of the cliffs then flew away, quite a spectical.
