Caught this guy flying over the house yesterday. ;)

Actually, it turned out to be a local hospital chopper. I wasn't exactly ready for it, or I would have allowed for some rotor blur. At 1/8000th of a second, that just didn't happen.

Dang - what kind of camera do you use??? That is some serious high-speed detail. It looks like it could fall out of the sky!

Is that a hybrid? The reds are nothing but rats with bushy tails and you need to be shooting them with something other than a camera before they destroy your home.
