Up in the Chopper for Sunset Pictures

Posted on Nov 9, 2011 in photography

There is a new commander at the San Diego Yacht Club and he needs a photo.  So my brother, his friend (a professional photographer) and I went up late this afternoon to take some beautiful pictures of him with his wife cruising their boat along the city view of downtown San Diego.  What a beautiful sunset it was as my brother kept the chopper at low altitude allowing us to snap some compelling pictures.  As is typical, it is a bit frightening sitting in the chopper with the doors off cruising a few thousand feet above the ground.  We take the doors off so we can snap pictures without the glare of the glass – the pictures turn out so much nicer that way.  Great afternoon for pictures again here in San Diego.
