Deuce 1 #1 August 8, 2004 Please see attached, and come back. What's wrong with the picture? The guy is hand holding his Canon with the ( I think its a ) 100-200 mm Image Stabilization lens. He exits the Herc handholding it. He flies way above the skydive and visually frames, via the viewfinder, the shots he wants. He even alters the zoom for cropping. In freefall. At the Herc Boogie, if your assigned organizer isn't manifested for a while, you can go along as second camera with other organizers, with their permission. Heck we even had as many as four on some loads. Anyhow, one of the most astounding things I've ever seen in the sky was this guy, he's a Finn named Ola, I think (Somebody please correct me as I'm probably wrong) continuing past me in freefall after I deployed, taking pictures and framing as he went by at terminal. We had agreed on in before hand, but seeing it was just amazing. I wish I spoke Finnish so I could have asked him more questions, but I did find out that learning this technique only cost him one camera. At pull time he clicks it into this carabiner thing on his chest strap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 15 #4 August 8, 2004 Norm Kent handholds his D1 I think for Birdman jumps. Tilts the hand for framing. Totally badass to watch him fly.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jussi 0 #6 August 8, 2004 that would be Jussi Laine, he has photos here on dz.com, http://www.dropzone.com/photography/photographers/JussiLaine.shtml his photos are really cool edit, if i remember correctly, he uses Canons 70-200 L lense.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #7 August 9, 2004 Dude, the response is "Hey Deuce, that would be ME" Thanks for sharing the jumps! Again, you tearing by me at terminal handholding that rig was just one of THE coolest things I have ever seen in freefall. I really hope I get to come back in two years so I can pick your brain some more. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the only Finnish I currently know is "Salmiakki!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites x3mcam 0 #8 August 9, 2004 Yup, it's Jussi Laine. He has lately been into this long lens - camera in his hands thing. I would say he is best renown for images of himself, since he has various systems of connecting his camera to his foot/hand/skysurf etc. He is really a cool guy and an exceptional camera-flyer... BTW Deuce... I was on many of the jumps you filmed... when are we going to see some pics - huh?
