picture of the ferry Norona which sails between Faroe isles and Denmark. I just wish it had been a brighter day.

Ok, I gotta ask!

How on earth did you get such a cracking shot of this liner? Were you in an aircraft of somekind?

Its a great capture, well done!

thanks spooks, yes this shot was taken from a helicopter, we had just finished doing some winch training with this vessel, so did'nt waste any time getting my old camera out.

Always take me laptop with me to download to h/d so can get fresh card for next day.

We use midgie-bands - work a treat - mother-in-law got them off qvc thingy but they do really work.

Saying that, the little beggers hate garlic so we make sure we eat loads.

Appologies for the horrible smell you guys in Scotland, its the Spooks Clan full or garlic! LOL

Great shot mate.

Oh for a helicopter of my own!!!

You are indeed fortunate to be able to get a position like this. you pulled it off very well indeed. That boat looks like it was going some. Lovely crisp image from a crazy helicopter dude.
