The last few days I have been in Italy - touring vineyards north of Venice, tasting fresh and creamy Prosecco, eating a selection of deliciously good food and being enraptured by the stunning countryside. The highlight of the trip was a helicopter ride over the vineyards put on by one of the top producers of the Prosecco region Bisol.
Plenty of exclusive photographic opportunities you would have thought; and you wouldn’t be wrong. Here are a few tips though. Firstly make sure you have a spare Compact Flash card so half way through the flight you don’t run out of space. Secondly check the white balance is set for the conditions and don’t assume the setting you have is overridden by the auto settings of the camera. Helicopters are noisy beasts and you have to have headphones clasped
You are excited of course and clicking away like some possessed mad man (well I might never have another go at this so make the most of it!) and forget all these simple and obvious tips.. and end up deleting half the shots you took as they are blurred or suffer from burn out. Half the pictures you managed to take before the ‘card full’ message flashes on the screen….
Luckily many I did take turned out fine.
