post your best shot

Looks like the drogue is caught in the lines. I caught one of those the other day. And a drogue over the nose (and caught in the cascade) a few weeks ago. The drogue in the lines didn't seem to have any effect, but the drogue over the nose caused a turn. TI had to fly with one toggle down to keep it straight. Still managed a nice landing.

Not my best by any means....and very close to my last. This is about as close as you can get to the split second before a collision. My bad....I was playing on the freeway w/ drivers that aren't the brightest. This collision ripped my flash (550ex) off my 5D and drove it into my forehead. The flash is done, camera is fine, and my forehead hurts. To ad...I was laying down....not standing or sitting.

When I walk out to the landing area with my camera I always refer to it as my "stupid magnet".
Sorry to hear about your gear and best wishes getting rid of the "nonac" tattoo.

I haven't put anything in here in a while... so here are a few shots from last weekend.

A nice exit shot

I learned this technique from the jumper in the Blue and Yellow jumpsuit.

I wasn't supposed to be here but it made for a pretty good photo

I was warned on the ground he was going to do this... pretty cool though... fwiw... most of the jumpers didn't make it back to the main landing area to the right of the runway off in the distance... :D:$

and finally it's not a picture... but I had a fun time playing with ACID Music Studio making the music for the video from the three jumps... :)
