Polish Mi-24 Combat Helicopter[edit]

With the ongoing conflict in Georgia, I decided to look through the FPs for Russian military hardware. Finding little, I did a quick search and found this relatively high quality shot of a Polish "Hind" which might be of FP quality. What do you think?

Fixed the redlink in caption. Was wondering why the model didn't have its own article, but actually it has a pretty good one. I don't think the lighting on it is that great, but admittedly you can't shoot these any time you like. I'm no expert but I think there may be some JPEG artifacting along the edges of the bird.

This is very likely to pass. If you post this on FPC there will probably be some edits made then people there can vote on which they like best. This is a good example of a panning shot done with an aircraft. victorrocha (talk) 18:58, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Doubt you can pan much in 1/500 sec, but it still came out pretty well. Fletcher (talk) 20:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Everything is good except for the JPEG artifacts; they're all over the image, and especially noticiable around the edges. Does anyone know enough Polish to ask the creator for a higher quality picture? Thegreenj 20:32, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Do I need to wait for a seconder to nominate it for FP? Fryslan0109 (talk) 21:29, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Feel free to nominate if you think it's ready. You don't need a seconder. Thegreenj 22:25, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
