This would be a perfect image for the cliffs competition!

Great photo and it looked like fun getting it.

Thank you! It was great fun, It's hard to tell how close we were, these were shot at 14mm on a full frame sensor. I had to take the Go Pro off my head because the rotor wash almost blew it off my head when I leaned out. It was a private flight and I told the pilot to have some fun and put the chopper thru it's paces, which he did! Thanks again.

Wow!! I bet that was quite a trip to see this in person! I'm not well with heights, so congrats to you for capturing this shot! Yikes!

Thank you!
