Laszloimage 0 #1077 April 28, 2009 Being judged or being criticized is two different things. Taking constructive criticism is vital to learn anything (not only free fall photography). Those guys actually tried to help you out with advices; even if they didn’t say what you might wanted to hear… The other thing is photographing tandems isn’t the right way to learn become a camera man!!! Definitely not with 350-60 jumps! The requirement is to film tandem is 500 RW jumps and another 100 camera jumps as an addition. IT IS A REQUIREMENT! Why don’t you just grab a tandem rig and start practicing doing tandems your own? I recommend learning camera flying with small RW groups. -Laszlo- ps.: more discussion about this is on other threads already. Sorry about the off topic... It should be continued elswhere...

Bill_K 0 #1078 April 28, 2009 Laszlo, I am coming off badly here. I really do care about what those who have come and gone before have to say. I'm about as safety minded as they come. Those pictures were all take at 20mm and cropped in a good bit. The originals are quite far out. Sigh. It was not my intent to start a thread drift. Here is what most of my practice jumps are. Though I'll admit I do a little sit flying and have taken some stills while doing that too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idrankwhat 0 #1085 April 28, 2009 In the "flock" pic it looks like your buddy is pulling the old "change the altimeter" trick. Gotta keep your eye on those guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feeblemind 1 #1086 April 28, 2009 Quote vdshoor said all . Your just dam lucky you or the instructor /student didn't get hurt or killed ! Sorry guys but this upsets me . You need to be a tandem instructor before you jump with a tandem. This way you know everything thats going on with the tandem. Bill, I am sorry but I disagree that I need to be a TI to shoot video of a tandem. What I do need to do is "LISTEN" to the TI's and more seasoned vidiots to shoot tandem video. Then what they need is common sense and we both know that cannot be taught! I have a bad lower back and never intend on getting a TI rating, but I have shot numerous tandem videos and plan to continue as needed.

velocityphoto 0 #1089 April 28, 2009 Changing someone's altimeter is a pretty stupid thing to do! Hopefully it's only a joke and not reality. I'd punch somebody's lights out for a trick like that. Imagine the outcome of a situation where some one thought they was to low and dumped in your face ,or thought they was higher than they were and burned in. A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................

Imagine the outcome of a situation where some one thought they was to low and dumped in your face ,or thought they was higher than they were and burned in. Thanks for pointing that out. I almost went back in and edited my post to make your point. It was meant to be a joke based on the altimeter grip in the pic. To my knowledge there is no "change the altimeter trick" and I certainly hope that there never was or is one. Then again, I don't know that I'd want anyone grabbing my altimeter, trick or not. Accidents happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried the Canon sensor dust mapping software that comes with the camera (came with my XTi) ? Is it effective at all or just a gimmick? I haven't had the need to try it out yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
