Some days I really love my job...

Like today! Got to go for a little joy flight in the Holden airship. Its doing a big tour around the Holden dealerships. Its in Adelaide tomorrow (20/11) and is making its way to Perth.

It has a crusing speed of 75km/h with a max speed of about 90km/h. It seats a total of 7 and it was good fun.

I work for TV so I had to film a heap of stuff from the air... but managed to sneak my d70 on board with me, only problem was I was being paid to film so I was only able to snap a few shots and hope for best. Would have loved more time though... Enjoy

The shot of the two lakes is amazing, with distinct blue and green colouring respectively.

I also like the lakes shot, just wish it had been a little wider to get them both in. But I also understand you were there on another job with some Director breathing down your neck no doubt!!!
The colours are very unique.

Thanks all...

Yes our Blue lake is looking its best this time of year. I had my 10-20 on and was wishing that pilot could have taken a wider path around the lake. But I still had fun and the boss was happy.

Cheers

Matey, good shots and heard this blimp come over my house as kids were outside having a water fight and came and told me but i didn't bother getting the camera out as it was turning to go over the lakes. Lucky prik. LOL Oh yeh did go to mum N dads place last week and hit door bell but no answer so didn't worry incase they was still asleep.
