    Makes me wish I had gone further with it when I was doing it. My wife says she'd shoot me rather than let me get back into it now. Somehow she's got it in her head that it's dangerous ne_nau.gif but I don't know where she'd come up with that. Of course with the fact that I've got the middle-age spread and a couple of back surgeries under my belt (I see another surgery in my near future also) it'd probably not be advisable anyway... rolleyes1.gif

    Keep jumpin' and keep sharing the pics. thumb.gif

    If you ever have the opportunity to skydive, do not - I repeat - DO NOT pass it up.

    Seems I'm always late to the party!
    Well first off, your subject is a little too far from the background rolleyes1.gif

    No, seriously, isn't that a Crumpler 'Brians' Hot Tub' on his back? :D

    no, no, no,......

    Really *seriously*-very cool shot, definately a 'Dangerous' challenge entry shot.

    Question on the reflection-

    It appears that your arms are spread out like his, did you use a helmet mounted camera and remote release, or am I missing something?

    If every keystroke was a shutter press I'd be a pro by now...

    My 10D is mounted is mounted along side a sony DV camera for stills and video all on one helmet (about 14 pounds on my head). the release is set up to a switch which is activated by blowing in a tube. I have a small round site which tells me the center of my shot but it's up to me to judge the distance, lighting, and such just by aiming. I don't get the luxury of " seeing" my shot until I land. I sit in the plane and figure my settings before I leave and hope it works out.
