EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured by IAIN THOMSON for the RAF Photographers Photographic Competition 2005, we are presented with a mesmerizing scene that combines power and beauty. Against the backdrop of a full moon, a Griffin HT1 Helicopter takes center stage as it gracefully maneuvers through the night sky. The helicopter's silhouette is strikingly highlighted against the luminous glow of the moon, creating an ethereal atmosphere. What makes this image even more impressive is the underslung load hanging beneath the helicopter. It serves as a reminder of the crucial role played by these aerial machines in military operations and logistics support. The juxtaposition between such raw strength and delicate celestial elegance evokes a sense of awe and admiration. The digital manipulation employed in this photograph enhances its artistic appeal without compromising its authenticity or integrity. Through skillful composition and expert use of lighting, IAIN THOMSON has managed to capture not only an exceptional moment but also evoke emotions within viewers. This remarkable snapshot showcases both technical prowess and creative vision while paying tribute to those who serve in our armed forces. It stands as a testament to their unwavering dedication and commitment to protecting our skies.
