    Holy cow! I imagine you were freefalling as well? In which case that is an amazing result. Did I mention, Wow!

    Canon 10D Sigma 12-24 lense
    Set at about 18 wide
    with a self built mouth trigger release. All mounted on my head.
    Focus set just under infinity and sport mode. I can' beleive it was so clear since most sunset shots skydiving in no light without a flash do tend to blurr. I guess I was flying very steady!!
    Thanks for the comment!!!

    Wow!!
    Those shots are excellent thumb.gifthumb.gifthumb.gif I still think your wife and the sunset shot is my fav clap.gif


    It crossed my mind, for like a millisecond, that it might be worth jumping out of a plane to try to get some shots like these. Then I came to my senses and thought about how difficult shots like this would be, after losing control of my bodily functions.:uhoh BTW, how do you use a mouth release when you're screaming? :lol


    Thanks for sharing these and I'll be looking for it in the banner,

    Published yes but to a very select crowd, I would like others than skydivers to see them.

    All I can say is wow. I absolutely love your skydiving shots. I've always wanted to go skydiving, and seeing those cool shots, especially the ones looking down, make me want to do it even more. Thanks for sharing.
