I'm really happy with results from the shoot. 
First, because of the great weather and incredible turnout.
And also because of the new pilot (to me) and his helicopter- that thing was smooth as silk.
Vibration is a big problem for cameras in helos, especially on windy days and when turning or maneuvering.
Never had a flight where so many shots came out in good focus, and Mr O had me in position nearly every second.
1100 frames in 45mins- if it isn't my personal best, it sure felt like it.
That said yadayada... sometimes I get caught up in the moment and lean out into the slipstream.
It can work if you are ready- the wind will grab the end of the camera lens and you may get a blurred shot.
All I can say is "Holy Pixel Dust, Batman..." the 'Shake Reduction' feature of Photoshop CC is a mindbender.
If you saw this original you would say there is no way to make it publishable.
