pilotdave 0 #876 July 14, 2008 Not my best shots, but here are some from this past weekend... First one is kinda cool... hard to tell if he's upside down or right side up. Last one is a guy waving off on a recurrency jump... first jump in 6 years! He did a great job. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill_K 0 #877 July 14, 2008 That third shot must be an AFF opening, nice shot. Of course my fav's are 1 and 2 though. Love the WS's!! Thanks for sharing, I feel like my week is off to a better start already! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #878 July 14, 2008 Yup... main side tracking off as soon as the student deploys... reserve side sticking around till the student goes YOINK. Lots more pics on my stills site... if you're THAT bored. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #882 July 14, 2008 nice shots. You might wanna go easy on Pshopping the saturation tho. Gamma might be a better control, or Shadows/Highlights. The raft shot has a lot of action. Nice angle! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice angle! Why thank you! In response to the saturation issues, it's something I have been trying to work out... I recently starting using Aperture, and something in my export setting takes the saturation up to +20% on jpg's and I can't figure out what I did/am not doing (.png's exports fine ) They sure look great on my screen though Edit to add: just figured it out.... thanks for the motivation!It's all fun and until someone loses an eye... then it's just a game to find the eye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BirdWoman 0 #884 July 14, 2008 I'll give in. The first two are of a memorial tandem I shot on Saturday for a lost jumper...the jumper's wife was the student. The second shot is a cool pic of a headdown. Sorry I haven't had time to do anything other than resize for posting and tag them "I don't know where it is that I'm going, but wherever it is there I'll be!" --quoted by me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill_K 0 #894 July 16, 2008 First, this has to be one of the coolest shots I've seen in this sport. http://laszloimage.com/July_2008_NEW/pages/July_13th_08%20034.htm Second, what is that last shot? Is that a cutaway? Or another optical illusion? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skydave103 0 #895 July 16, 2008 Laszlo, Those are some great shots, but I think you need to clean your lens, seems to be a bunch of writing all over your pic's.

Laszloimage 0 #896 July 17, 2008 Thanks for the compliment! That "last" shot isn't an optical illusion. That's an AFF instructor (is he really???). What happaned was he was chasing a student until the student's Cypress fired about at 1000 feet (plus/minus 200 feet from 750', luckily it was plus) So he deployed his main, but of course his AAD fired as well. As you see the reserve still inflating when he just cut his main away (which could have put him into more trouble). He walked away without a scratch. -Laszlo- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second, shows that it's instinct to go for the handle we are comfortable with, even low. Third, what a hell of a shot, talk about good timing!! Finally, glad both he and his student are OK!!
