Flying for Photos

Erin and I got a ride in Chopper Two for an ocean rescue exercise, here we are coming in for a landing at the fire station after the assignment. It was Erin’s first time in a helicopter and I doubt you could keep her from volunteering for future flights. A helicopter is a great platform to shoot photos from and see the island. I had to use my fisheye lens for many photos due to the cramped quarters of the small helicopter.

Erin does some reportage as we fly with a pair of lifeguards on the helicopter’s skids heading out to drop them into Kahaluu Bay.

Our ride. You’ll just have to read the paper to see more photos.
