OSPREY @ NIGHT





The night photos are mine, but I included some other pics (http://www.richard-seaman.com) since most of you might not know what the Osprey looks like. I have some of my own pics of the Osprey from the Miramar air show, but they are on the computer back home. I set my camera up on the tripod about 1 foot off the ground and it got blown over from the thrust of the propellers as I took shelter behind the SUV. It is still alive! I almost had my first casualty, but I brought it back to life. The yellow light is the crew chief walking by the camera as the shutter was open. They have a little light they wear on there vest. I was chewing sand for about 30 minutes after takeoff. Next time I don't think I will get so close.
