Don't know what you mean by "apres" but thanks for the compliment. It's been my experience that at least one party at every swoop meets is "epic". - Chris Norton Vivid Views: Thousands of skydiving pictures online

Thanks. I was hoping someone, anyone, might get some use out of the exposure settings. It would be really nice if I had a complete record of the filters I've used too but that's the one thing my camera can't record for me and I often don't write it down. - Chris Norton Vivid Views: Thousands of skydiving pictures online

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It's rewarding to learn that all my hard work is appreciated. And rest assured, I will continually post more photos as time permits. This won't be a new site that goes stale and is never updated. Perhaps anyone of you might do me the honor of ranking my site at this link? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/links/rate.cgi?ID=86 Thanks! - Chris Norton Vivid Views: Thousands of skydiving pictures online

Photo Details On my web site, I have posted over 1000 photos from the 2000, 2001, 2002 Pond Swoop Nationals held at The Ranch and the 2002 Pond Surfing Championships held at Skydive New England. I kept detailed records last year so if you competed in 2002, just enter your name in the search form to instantly find all the photos I have of you. Lots of great swoops, plenty of chows, and a few spectacular moments have all been caught on film. Yes, I sell prints and high res scans but please believe me, it's NOT the motivation behind this post. Making a few sales is nice since it helps defray costs but there's no way I'll ever make a profit. As much as people here are passionate about skydiving and swooping, I am passionate about photography. This is the only reason I spent hundreds of dollars in film and processing, and countless hours in scanning and putting the images on my web site. After all that work and expense, I think it would be a shame if the people in the shots didn't know where they could go to see them. High Res Scans In addition to lab prints, high res scans sufficient to print an 8x10 are now available for purchase. The scans are perfect for people who would rather have a scanned image than a print or who would like to make their own print to save some money. For complete details, simply click the 'Buy' button. There you will find two tabs labeled 'Lab Prints' and 'Scans'. The first scan is $15 and includes a CD-ROM and shipping. Additional scans are $10. User registration is NOT required to make a purchase. FREE Download Because I would like to share my photography with more people, I've changed the way my web site works. If you are willing to register as a user on my site, you can download any of the images displayed there for FREE. Complete details are available from the user registration link.

I just totally redesigned my site. The new link for the shots I have of this swoop is: http://vividviews.com/search.php?search_keywords=clint%20jc - Chris Norton Vivid Views: Thousands of skydiving pictures online

I have a 4 photo sequenece of this swoop posted on my web site starting here: http://vividviews.com/images/details.php?image_id=1236 I think you'll see that it was a combination of the lens focal length and the angle from which the centerfold shot was taken that makes it look much closer than it really was. I'm not downgrading the swoop in any way, it was still awesome to watch! - Chris Norton Vivid Views: Thousands of skydiving pictures online

Not to worry! Kenko makes great lenses. All you need is a step-up ring. This is just a double threaded ring that allows you to attach that 37mm Kenko lens to your 30mm camera lens. Since you're stepping up in size you shouldn't have any vingetting problem. (That's where the camera doesn't see all the way out the wide angle lens and picks up a bit of the inside of it. This results in black corners in the video picture.) Step-up rings are usually less than $10. - Chris Norton
