Hi Neil, thank you, to you and yours too,
Just playing around with Mr G's head, a bit of his Mustang and a
seagull, but somehow I just couldn't get the perspective right..
The original Sea King shot was taken from the cliff path between Whitby
and Robin Hood's Bay on the Yorkshire coast, with a Leica M6 and a 2,8/135.
It came in very low and very close to pick up some people who didn't get
off the rocks before the tide came in, in the end they were taken off by
the inshore
lifeboat, and entered Whitby harbour looking very sheepish.
cheers
Douglas
