I am no pro photographer but trying a circular polarized filter show help out especially if there is plenty of light. And they are not that expensive Be intereted to see the results Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

I do keep the tapes but if I want to clip a 60sec clip from 20 minutes of footage iMovie is a pain, Anyway I have bought final cut express and its in the mail Thanks Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

Probably does not count but it sucked all the same. I was filming a 3 way tube meat bomb with a bunch of people who did not even have cat 10 basic rw which is required when jumping together, anyway I did not know it I assumed they did anyway I flew my ass off stayed with the tube all the way perfectly framed a really tight in. It was all over the place spinning at mutiple axises. I watched the vid when I landed primed the tape to show the guys and then got distracted jumped in the plane and filmed over it DUH!! Being as they then got rumbled i did not get a second chance to do it again. It was one of my best ever videos Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

Thanks for that it sounds like its just what I need. I have not done much video lately or jumping for that matter, need to sort that out!!! Cheers Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

Question to all you MAC users, I have a G4 iBook, When I use iMovie it edits the whole files while I am working on it as apposed to creating an overlay type template which does not touch the raw footage. I was using windows movie maker which creates a template so to speak. My question is a) Am I using iMovie incorrectly ? b) If not what sensibly priced software will give me the option to just create a template file that can be compiled into a movie without touching the RAW footage. How does Final Cut Express handle things? Thanks Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

What time of the year is jumping most pleasant and most likely to get loads of jumpable days? Also what DZ is best to turn up at on your own and get to jump with lots a cool people? And also to get some freefly coaching? I thinking of making a trip this year but I am not sure what time is good to come over Tara Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

How to get published, Borrow a camera and go on a great skydive. I shot a picture of and 8-way atmonauti line. Published in Paramag and Skydive the Mag (UK publication) It was also put on the back cover of the official DVD of the Atmonauti Pro 2 Boogie. I am stoked, Jeremy Taylor - what this name - ha ha ha beginners luck "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

Tandem atmonauti is mental, I did camera on an 8 way with Tandem Atmonauti Jump at the Atmonauti pro boogie, the Photo's are not great as it was a late load so lighting was not good. The Atmo Tandem is way slower than a normal drogueless tandem, and moves forward like you would not believe. Go to www.atmonauti.com for pics Tara Jezz(jeremy) "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

I started at 16 and a month or so, actually my parents gave me the Money I used for my birthday. After an operation as a result of a skydiving mishap doing SL pregression, my Dad still sponsored me 50% for the AFF course and Jumps until I started earning money. So sweet Now I have to pay it all myself :( "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

Slightly off topic but makes for a sweet shot Pop up a Bit do a 180 and and start tracking away looking back you can keep them in frame then just keep you head focussed on them and do a 1/2 front loop, basically a dive that just slips, You get a really cool sequence Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

WHen you rotate the screen it will flip sounds like you have done this and then it has not returned to the correct orientation Now sure how that will help you fix it Jeremy "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

Ok I am no designer but this could work If you are talking about a board. Mount a reserve pc spring(only the spring) mount it so the narrow part would be furthest from the board when extended. Make a 2 holes in the board one which is aligned to the center of the spring, attach teflon cutaway cables to the apex of the spring along with a closing loop. Attach a long piece of hardhousing to the board probably with the eye located over the centred hole. now fashion a long reserve ripcord with a pin on one end. Run the housing up the leg, side and down the arm. Attach a pair of pliers(or something) which are spring loaded to open when released, link a hand grenade tricker. SO that when is is released it pulls the reserve ricord which then activates the spring which pulls this cutaway. The need for the spring etc is to allow a long cutaway stoke. Route the teflon cables through the offsett hole. Ensure the edges of this whole are curved inwards so as to allow easy estraction of the cutaway cables. This is fairly poorly explained but I am sure you get the picture, configured correctly the spring in the hand unit should not have to exceed a push force of 20LBS to esure that the reserve pin is extracted. one thing is to make sure the reserve pin is located in such away not to lock up. ie do not just have the closing loop coming though say soft wood as the pin would get longed in the wood which will make a bad day. Where are you going to perform this stunt I have a camera and could come along and take some photo's if its anywhere near by Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

Don't log freefall time, one day I may have to go back and guess if I need it for ratings Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

First for those who want a quick read what Lens combination do you use on a digital stills with a 1.6x FLM and a video camera to get the same/similair frame sizes?? I want real world answers not thoeries Ok so here is the thing I have done a few jumps with a borrowed system with an EOS 300D(Rebel) First with the kit lens at 18mm (until it got water in doke) this matched to my PC 107 with Sony 0.6 very nicely with similair framing The I used a 16mm Zenitar and manged to get a few nicely framed stills but was much to close for the video, but stills rule so I was not to upset. But here is the thing the Zenitar is compact and light and also fixed so easier to seal up I assume. So my question is what lens for my video will best match this lens? I look forward to your responses Tara Jezz An "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers

Try www.sky-designs.be A belgium maker the Zenith is one of the coolest looking lids around in my opinion and fairly snag free. The website is not the best but if you look in the photo gallery you will get the idea Tara Jezz "Now I know why the birds fly" Hinton Skydivers
