Lady in pink

I actually took this picture a while ago.  What drew me to it at the time is still the same reason I like it now - that pink background!

Heli in HK

Woops. I may have completely forgotten to update this blog.
:)

Anyway, this next photo is interesting to me for 2 reasons.

The first is probably interesting to me only.  My wife and I were out and we saw a helipad and my wife commented that she had never seen a helicopter land on that helipad.  Sure enough, we then saw a helicopter land on it.  I guess Big Brother really is listening!

The second is that, despite the fact that helicopters are noisy (and I mean really noisy!), I didn't actually notice it until it was almost right on top of me.  At the time, I was fully concentrating on trying to frame a different photo so had tuned out the world around me.  By the time I noticed the helicopter, I only had time to quickly point and shoot. 

Which, to an extent is annoying as, if I had time, I would have changed the camera settings.  At the time, I had the lens fully open which meant the shutter was quick resulting in the helicopter blades looking absolutely still.  I think this photo may have been a bit better if the blades were a little blurry. 

On the other hand, it probably meant that I was able to get a clear picture of one of the people inside the helicopter looking out so I guess its very much pros and cons.
