Notes: Not quite as sharp as I'd have liked it to be, could be due to
the fact that I forgot to enter the correct focal length. The AS system
thought that this was shot a 70mm while the actual focal length was more
like 350mm.
Equipment: Pentax K20D w/smc Pentax F 70-210 f4.0~5.6 w/smc Pentax F
1.7x AF adapter.
I was expecting something like this:

Helicopters are difficult (for me anyway). Trying to get a shutter
speed slow enough to give the blades a nice blur but fast enough to get
a sharp fuselage while panning is something I haven't mastered.
As you can tell neither have I...
