A few months back, I came up on a wildfire in central Wyoming. I've just got around to processing them.
Luckily I had two cameras along. I had a Nex 5n with my Tair 3 300mm F4.5 Preset mounted to it and my D600 with a 50mm F1.8G lens.
It was near sunset and the low light, with the very heavy smoke made for some somewhat difficult photography. The fully manual Tair 3 didn't make it any easier 
Hope you like them.

I agree, superb shots under difficult conditions. If I was nit-picking I would say they would be even better with more blur on the rotor blades of the helicopter!

On the last 2 you can see the air shimmering from the heat of the helicopter's exhaust pipe

Thanks! Yeah, I should have used a little slower shutter speed. The thing is, the Nex 5n has no stabilization, so I like to keep around a 1/500th shutter speed for the 300mm lens (equivalent to 450mm in FF). |

Thank you. That Tair lens makes it pretty easy to get great photos though. It is my favorite 300mm lens. |

Technically impeccable work. Also very emotionally composed.
I can relate with the use awkwardness of the Tair-3

how did you use Tair 3 on a NEX body? Doesn't it look super awkward?

Amazing series! My favorites are the first (for the sense of motion) and the last (for the lighting) but all are superb. You capture the arid mountain west perfectly. |
