its a pretty good idea to reformat your card after every job
before you start shooting again. its also helpful to name each folder, with whatever you prefer (if your camera allows this, some canons dont, i think) then make sure you reset (or intentionally do not, if you are continuing from a certain point) your number sequence so your images start at xxx_0001.jpg etc..

if you dont reformat your cards regularly, and they see a healthy amount of use and travel (in the camera, in the pocket, in the car with the windows up) then it is only a matter of time until you get a replace card or card cannot be used error message, and more than likely right after exit,and on a paying job.

on fucking abcnews.com .. has a site ever been burned so badly ,BEFORE it has ever even been jumped?

but i still like to watch base vids on youtube and hope to post some of my own as soon as i get comfy with my new fox

well have fun all by yourself then. and somewhere else at that.

xomato is hands down the best base photographer ive seen yet. something to aspire to.. nice images

yes and the correct order is alcohol. then base. they will teach you that in any decent fjc.

ok ladies. this must be a no fun zone. sorry.

hey guys. if you wantto know how to clean your sensor.. perhaps read that little book that came with your camera... you know the one.. the instruction manual.

it also demystifys such exotic terms as ,

-white balance
-aperature
-shutter
-iso (no more pesky auto/program mode"
-how to turn "on" the camera
-how to "change" a "lens"

and the big one "what settings do i use?"

good luck. -b

no hes just new and proud.

thanks for your condescending input, from the other side of the world.

lighten up.

Hell, I even cliimbed a 1700 footer a few weeks ago

yeah right. that never happened. hell youre probably too old to climb towers telling jokes and drikn vicodins.

i also have a kodak14n body that id sell for 1000 obo, if anyone is interested...

full frame sensor is nice to have, but not at all totally necessary... the biggest pain, is on the short end of things, 15mm lens = 20mm but thats not the end of the world if you know ahead of time and plan accordingly..

its a bonus if youre shooting land-based action sports from afar with a telefoto because now your 200mm=250mm.

(math may be jacked, but principle is the same...)

dont forget a piece of gaffers tape to hold the bottom of the "flippy thing" down, otherwise you will lose your "flippy thing" and probably "flip out" when you getr the repair bill.

its only 80 bux but it still a pain.

(mine was lost in a windtunnel)

base jumping pilots are always welcome in florida.

i love dropzone.com.

yes. i will be screening all tatoo applications. send them to me at 123 getbent street.

have a nice day.

haha. a uspa tatoo...

theres nothing wrong with a skydive tatoo but

- it should be meaningful and customized

- it should be earned..

shoulda just got a tshirt that says on the front

I WANT YOU TO KNOW I AM A SKYDIVER.

get a basic camera book. figure out the relationship between aperature,shutter, and iso, and how each affects your images.
everything should fall into place after that.

see. all the old salts get it. they are the real skydivers. the trail blazers. either you are a competent skydiver or you arent.

there is nothing better than a beautiful day, 4 friends and a cessna (dont forget the pilot!) over the beach, with a nice fat one for the ride to altitude. who needs a dz?


gucci jumpers. nice matching everything. i laugh at much of the modern skydiving "scene" have fun with your circle jerks, kiddos.

just a little bit anyway. new perspectives. same world. no more gnar.(maybe just a little less.)

time to take it easy. be safe out there folks, and beware the reaper.

he thinks nothing of consuming us all.

you ARE a girls gone wild video

I've always wondered, which element is best for someone's first BASE and why?

the best element for ones firs base jump is most definatley AIR. cant believe you all got that wrong.
