  1. NOT the tandem shot This guy should have definately blown his nose first... Sorry if you're eating your dinner. Bruno - love your work http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  2. I think the batteries are different. The 350D is definately a different battery to the 300D and I think the 400D uses the same battery as the 350D. Hope this helps http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  3. I'm right eye dominant but have my sight over my left eye with no problems - Norman Kents advice is to have your sight on the opposite side to your pilot chute http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  4. I only tend to do it with a couple of TMs who have a really consistent count in the door - its great for getting the students face on the pic though! http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  5. very nice Arvel - where you front float with that one? http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk

  9. one of my favourites from this year http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  10. Heres one from the front float step of a caravan with the Canon 15mm on an XT. It gives you a good idea of how wide it is. I think the canon is definately worth an extra $80 http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  11. How about drinking as much water as you possibly can about an hour before you go up then pissing yourself as you fly down the course? http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  12. Heres another one of Al doing his 2500th today with his lovely wife Andrea. And landing on rears - nuff respect http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  13. Hi lolla Well done for dealing with the problem! There is a Cypres promo video that shows somebody not dealing with this situation who is on his side until the Cypres fires. Is it possible for somebody to take a photo of how you were wearing the suit and post it on here? I think i know what you mean - i just cannot believe that you were advised to wear the suit this way. gary http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  14. took these over the weekend - raining today... http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  15. I started off with a tokina ATX 17mm to try and save money. It was OK but not quite wide enough and i always felt the results were not quite as sharp as i would like. Then bought a zenitar 16mm (again trying to save money) and its actually OK and wide enough but i occasionally get some strange results with it. I then bought a canon ef 15mm which I love. Moral - i spent a lot of money trying to 'save' money! A friend gets very nice results with his sigma 15mm and i believe the 10 - 22mm canon zoom is also nice but i would rather have a prime lens for skydiving. hope this helps gary http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  16. I've read some comparative reviews in photography mags and the D70s comes out just in front. Its not all about pixels! I also had quite a few Nikon lenses, flashguns etc but i switched to canon about a month before the D70s was announced I'm very happy with my XT/350D though for skydiving - it just feels like a toy on the ground. http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  17. Wow - the lift capacity will be 218 people per hour! See ya there!!! gary http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  18. I can't afford somebody with your talents http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  19. Hi Saskia! I think it was this company - JC had some of their stuff I think. http://www.reallyrightstuff.com/ gary http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  20. cuffs on the pants are velcro with elasticated cuffs on the jacket. http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  21. I've had a merlin suit and currently got a Tony. The tony C wing can be attached via fastec clips (standard) or rsl shackles - no velcro on either. I have the rsl shackles and had loops sewn on my legstraps to attach them to. I find with the C wing my sit is more upright than with the merlin and definately easier for tandems when you need to be close. I always felt i was lying back much more in the merlin suit. The Tony suit is very well made and should last a long time. I jump the c wing jacket with the cargo pants. hope this helps gary http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  22. I was also on a tight budget when i went digital so i decided to buy the best glass i could, then see what was left for a body (i was changing from Nikon so my previous lenses would not work) I took that shot with the canon 15mm lens, TV at 1/500th, manual focus and went with ISO 200 as I felt we might just be starting to lose the light. The camera selected F8 glad you like the pic! regards gary http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  23. My 350D also performed great at WT 06 - want a 5D now though... http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  24. Glad you like it! 1/80th sec with the crappy canon kit lens at 35mm, f5, ISO 400. The flash gun makes the shot - I forgot to set it to rear curtain but was still quite pleased. gary http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
  25. Took this on saturday - Katie Woods having fun on her new Katana http://www.garywainwright.co.uk Instagram gary_wainwright_uk
