I captured this H215 from Heliswiss during a mountain construction site in the French Alps. The goal was to transport two spider excavators, the heaviest load being about 3 tons. I found that placing the spider excavator in the foreground with the H215 behind, provided proof that the helicopter should be considered a construction machine.

I captured this H125 from Savoie Hélicoptères during an air-to-air shoot. We're in the French Alps on a fire-fighting training mission. We had the opportunity to practice for a long time, which prompted me to try a “full disc”, which worked out quite well - you can see the helicopter and bucket in the water through the rotor disc.
