Photographer’s Note

I had the opportunity to join with friends a two hour helicopter flight from Hobart to the Southwest Coast in Tasmania. Incredible experience, which I'll never forget. It was a problem to take some images with my camera, although the pilot flew quite near to the coast. This is when we turned left crossing Port Davey and I could see Bathurst Harbour just a little bit. It was quite windy and we could not land. I tried to give a more contrast to the photograph and color. Anyhow, I am quite happy. At least I have nice images of this flight in Tasmania, which is a beauty.

Roser,
Fist of all I got your e-mail will give you some details later when I find my books with some more details information.
I see that you post a larger image, that is great, I like it, I know what you mean that the resolution is not good enough, but as you get a better camera, it will be much better quality, it's worth an investment. Digital camera are getting more affordable. I really enjoy this. I feel like a bird, flying over this beautiful area.
Way

Hola Roser, I was hoping to see your images of southern Laos but I see that you are still going there this year...I envy this flight of yours and the landscape seems amazing. Not easy at all to take this kind of pictures through a thick glass of a moving 'object'. I'm not an expert in pp but tried to enhance the image in a WS, with a bit more of contrasts, light and saturation.
warm regards,
ricardo
