Emergency?

Fortunately not, because this photo was taken at a SAR (Search and Rescue) event in Flushing, Zeeland, The Netherlands, held on August 15th, 2018. It was a pity that the weather conditions for photography weren't optimal.

I also want to note that there's no blur on the bottom of this photo. It concerns the 'downwash' of the helicopter, however: the powerful air flow caused by the rotor of the helicopter causes the sea water to spray and rises to the helicopter.

Right in the background you can see a drilling rig, often the work area for those involved with SAR activities.

I can almost feel the breeze from the blades and hear the putter-putter of the copter SEA.
Superb detail.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Great closeup and action shot SEA...can almost hear the whir of the blades and given the heat can definitely appreciate the spray:)
