christoofar 0 #8 February 16, 2002 It's a Nikon Coolpix 950. It doesn't have a remote shutter so I just put it in my flightsuit and pulled high (gave me time to pull off my helmet, say cheese, and zip it back up). Not bad for a newbie, huh? =o)In God We Trust.

Opie 0 #9 February 16, 2002 Any plans for/ ideas how to get a wired remote release on this or other coolpix series cameras? OpieIf your not on the edge, you can't enjoy the view! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christoofar 0 #10 February 16, 2002 I'm looking into the newer Coolpix cams to see if there's a way to get a remote release to work on them. They are very good cameras. Right now I'm looking to see if any ccd condoms will fit a newer coolpix well.In God We Trust. All others pay cash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallingMarc 0 #12 February 16, 2002 A pic with that much altitude in the background... and I'm still sitting here all congested so that I don't want to jump... sheeeeiiiiit.Nice one though. M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christoofar 0 #13 February 16, 2002 NO KIDDING! It was 68F on the ground but the wind was blowing at 20MPH or so... up there much worse. I had to crab all the way back to the DZ (I was about 2.5-3 miles out). I'm glad I didn't land out. I got warmer when I put the helmet back on (I tied it to my chest strap). =o)In God We Trust.

Iflyme 0 #16 February 18, 2002 QuoteI took a new pic today. Nice pix! I've taken along one of those little disposable cameras for self-portraits under canopy ... they work o-k, and it's not a big loss if the camera gets away... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
