Aerial Power Line Survey

Flying close to high voltage cables and checking faults for the National Grid is not my idea of fun.

Large may be better

Seems like a dangerous job to me. Love how you have captured this perfectly between the lines. It looks more like a piece of artwork like this

Not my idea of fun either Roger...........but it makes a great photo! The rotor blur gives the helicopter a real sense of movement and the power lines give a good idea of just how dangerous this job is. Your composition is spot on too.

Excellent work sir!

Hi Roger
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition to show the chopper thro the wires!
Great colours too
(I suspect most of the fault searching is by instrument these days!)
Best Wishes, a nice week end, and stay safe!!
