What an amazing opportunity - splendid.
A slower shutter would have left a bit more sense of movement in the chopper's rotor....

Thanks David and yes it would, but I was concentrating more on the keeping the two figures in focus. At a focal length of 300mm and a shutter speed of 1/250sec any slower would have risked the chopper and figures being out of focus.
