hello, I have been blogging about skydiving for a few years now. My blog is my logbook . Some people like my blog and read it, some may even have learned a thing or two. And of course you're free not to read it... If you want to aggregate it or do something with it, use one of it's RSS feeds. That's what they're there for. blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

Video from a jump last year. Exit separation was 25 sec. A solo freeflyer ended up underneath me. He exits, followed by three other solo (6 sec separation), then us. 25 sec after him. It was an instruction jump, an AFF level 6, so we were moving about a bit. But not that much, all the others were where I expected them to be under canopy. Normal condotions, 25 sec delay, and yet... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEgFw4CJBVM blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

Would you now as an instructor take on a student in this (your) state of mind? blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

I am not a "real" camera flyer, I just make some of my jumps with a camera on my head. I have a 60 minute cassette in my camera, and when it is at its end, I just rewind it and use it again. Only purpose of the videos is briefing and debriefing students or fellow jumpers and myself. I am not interested in all the quality stuff, or the fancy features. I am interested in a camera that produces video, is lightweight and small. I want a new one to fit in my existing camera helmet without too much trouble, and I'd like the thread size to be 25 mm so I can keep my wide angle lens. And of course it must be unbreakable and cheap. blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

You can sometimes use light bouncing of clouds for fill. Maybe you could use the sea as a giant reflector here? It may need a bit of photoshopping, but I like that first picture: what a setting for a skydive! blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

any shutter settings you can experiment with on this camera? blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

most instructors let go when YOU are ready wrong Witnessing this is one of the reasons why I am an instructor. Congrats to you. You recovered from a bad exit and got your act together again: good! sure about that? sounds like you were concentrating on the turn too much and neglecting your overall body position a bit you got the essentials right blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

Macworld next week (san francisco). If we get DVDSP for both formats, I'd be happy... (the rest of the world has moved on long since: bits belong on servers, not on disks) blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

for this statement to be exact, you would need 1600 participants (OK, I'm a nerd, I admit it) blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

my guess: a failing sensor because of moisture in the chip cavity. I remember that a few years ago, Sony had problems like this with certain models of image sensor chips they manufactured. The good news is that they offered free sensor replacement. Maybe a search on something like "bad sensor TRV25" will get you more. blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
