    WOW.. What an event. So tired after today, its been a great funfly with lots of fun, smaking, and general heli chat. So proud of everyone who participated. Crash heligod showed up several times, crash minion as well - Huge giveaways and to top it off a spectacular night fly at the end of it all. We will post some pics soon!

      Hi guys, I'm the photographer that turned up for the night fly - sorry I couldn't stay too long but I'm afraid family commitments got in the way this time around and had to leave in a bit of a hurry in the end.

      Really enjoyed the night and am looking forward to coming again and having another go at the photos if you'll have me back! Let me know what you think of these shots, I'm just starting out in the professional photography business so would love some honest feedback as it'll help me understand what you guys like so I can do more of it :)

      Hope you like the photos.....

      Thank you @Graeme Moore and @dazelec these shots and movies are fantastic. The long exposure really looks effective and the movies of crash... were pretty funny.... what a great day, i am still smiling.....

      Fantastic photos guys. Looks like the funfly was a huge success, lots of fun was had. The videos with Crash were awesome too. Not sure I would want him standing behind me like that while I`m flying though. LOL.

      Hey guys, the 'light trail' shots are long exposures of 30 seconds. I didn't bring all my kit for night photography (wasn't sure what to expect on the night) so I was a little limited to what I could experiment with but I'm fairly happy with how they turned out and I'm glad you like them!

      I'll take a snippet out of the full resolution photo for you guys tonight so you can see the traces of the main blades, the little photos are one thing but there's plenty of detail that these little photos don't show.

      Hopefully I can come again soon and get some different shots for you, maybe some even longer shots next time! Would love to have a go at getting the whole flight trace :)

      Hey guys, here's the detail in the blade trails - looks really cool :)

      Thanks very much for the feedback guys, hopefully I can join you again soon and get some more!

      After the event there were a few things left behind.

      If you are missing a single 6s 4500 pack on a tray that looks like it goes into a goblin and/or a lipo checker please send me a PM

      Achmed - my disillusioned brother - never really could make it into helicopters. He was more concerned about explosives and changing the world! He never achieved his goal and is now a sideshow prop and constantly has to live with a hand up his derriere!
