I just finished uploading 17 new pics to my smugmug account here
http://www.miketaylor01.smugmug.com/gallery/261715
The majority of the shots have people in them so I decided to post this here. I have finally had the opportunity to get some shots of some Iraqi's in their element. I was on a flight three days ago and had the opportunity to sit in the back instead of fly which doesnt happen for me very much. I had a perfect view out of the gunners window to take these shots. Please understand though that I was shooting with my Sigma 70-200 EX on board and shot shutter priority at 500. ISO was 100. I only had about a half second to get every one of these shots as the aircraft was flying at about 140 knots which is the same as about 260 km/h or 160 miles/hr. Needless to say 1/500 was not fast enough. Lesson learned, but some of the shots still turned out all right. Not as sharp as I would have liked, but I know how to fix that next time. Please let me know what you think and which ones you like the best. Enjoy.
