That is the  challenge of helicopter photography , shooting at a low enough shutter speed to get rotor turn , but also to
get a crisp photo......both fun and frustrating.

I think you caught the SKYKNIGHT.

Anyone get LASD Rescue 5 today in Westwood.  It transported Michael Jackson's body to County USC/Coroner.   Sad day.  Our generations Elvis or Marilyn Monroe.  You get the dirft.
