Nice photos! How far away were you actually standing from the topdresser? I mean, I assume you have to be careful not to get under the fall of the fertiliser, for your camera's sake as well as your own? The shot makes it look like you're about to be turned white!

Donked with the spinner, more likely.

We planned it so I would stand in this spot as the aircraft had to turn left slightly and the drift was moving away from me. I did cop it on the last load of the day but was just heading out the gate so my vehicle is now a different colour. Their are a couple more shots here: cap-photography.blogspot.com/ |

I have just added more photos from the top dressing at the link below: capphotography.fotopic.net/c1588598.htmlThe down elevator is visible as some of the lime was wet and blocking the hopper exit so the pilot used a bit of G here and there to get it moving. Its a move that most of the guys use and the first time I have caught it in a photo.  |
