My photos in National Geographic (online)

So it's not quite the glossy magazine, but I have to say I was really thrilled when I got a call from National Geographic Online asking if they could use the photos I had taken of my friend Jill paragliding in their issue this month.

I just saw the article and needed to celebrate somehow. It's too late to call anyone so I'm posting to you kind folks.
So thanks so much for reading! :barb

    Thanks everyone. I really really am thrilled.

    Jigger,

    I did the original shoot for an article about Jill in Tricycle Magazine last year. It was my first time being published. They wanted both close-ups and full wing shots. Things move quickly in paragliding given she has to go with the wind so I was in charge of nothing. I had 2 cameras around my neck (Nikon): a d2x with the 17-44mm/f2.8 and d70 and a d70 with the 70-200VR/f2.8. I used an sb800 on the d2x for a slight fill flash when I did close shots and she was backlit.

    Here are the rest of the photos from the shoot
    (i just turned on exif if you're interested):

    And yes, Jeffro, I did get some $$.

    Looks like you did a good job with following the action - not easy when it's happening fast, and you have to cover some ground with all that gear around your neck!

    Thanks Dr Dane! While it's true, I did cover a lot of ground, in the end the ground mostly covered me. I was totally covered in dirt, grass stains and burrs by the time the shoot was through.

    It's the thing that surprises me most about photography: just how physical it is. Even if I'm shooting an simple office party I am working my butt off. It's so much different than my prior sit-on-my-butt-and-think-really-hard job. Very satisfying.

    Thanks again everyone for your kind words. You guys are really awesome. iloveyou.gif

    Jigger, I can't say what would be the best flash for your 300D. I hear good things about the speedlights, but sadly, I'm a Nikon girl. There are lots of Canon folks here who can help, though.

    cheers,
    Trish

    Congrats! Looks like your hard worked paid off! Much of photography is telling a story and you certainly did with these pictures as NG rightly recognized. clap.gifclap.gif
