Ken Papaleo: X Marks the Shot: Army National Guard Training for Wildfires at Chatfield State Park.

Army National Guard Training for Wildfires at Chatfield State Park.



"X Shot" information.
Camera - Canon EOS 5D Mark II
ISO - 100
Shutter - 1/80sec.
F/stop - 29
Lens - 70/200 zoom


Challenge.
 I hadn't been out for a blog shoot for a couple of weeks, so I headed out. I found myself at Chatfield State Park in Littleton, Colorado. Upon entering the park I noticed helicopter activity in the south east corner. The Army National Guard where undergoing water dropping training. It looked interesting but I had no access and would have to shoot from a distance.


Solution.
The thing that really helped me with this shoot was having all my gear with me, including my 500 mm lens. Using this lens and a 70/200 zoom I was able to get a good variety of images.
