Crop dusting with rotary
Nikon D5300
So this morning we were alarmed to quite a commotion outside our front door as we kept hearing a helicopter passing up and down, now for some of you this might seem normal, but to me coming from South Africa, we generally expect the worst as helicopters only get deployed for severe events.
Now living in New Zealand, where most days are uneventful, you can understand my alarm to this noisy situation. After curiosity got the better of me I decided to go and investigate, and to my pleasant surprise found a life threatening situation, but luckily not to humans only insects.
Not sure as to the cost of such an exercise but it was mighty impressive, I have only seen it being done on fixed winged aircraft, but rotary seems a little more practical after consideration. I enjoyed the experience and thought I would share it with you.
