  1. If you go on the Skydive Chicago Fun Jumper facebook page you can ask Keith Nugent if he has anything available, he rents out trailers. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  2. I haven't seen her in a long time. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  3. In Indiana our volunteer firefighters have blue lights on their personal vehicles. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  4. Norman Kent does. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  5. I haven't done quads, but I have done back to backs all day for the MWSL meets. It's kind of fun. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  6. Can you reach the toggles without unhooking the wings? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  7. It will never come out, and it's some pretty tough stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVyM0DtApkQ "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  8. You shouldn't side mount anything anyways, it's bad for your health. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  9. Trunk was working on one, haven't heard about it lately. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  10. I just found out about the A5100/A6000 overheating problem in video mode. Apparently they can only shoot video for 5-10 minutes at a time. Bummer. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  11. I was already planning on switching to Sony mirrorless for video this year. Looks like I'll be getting at least one A6300. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  12. I bet that A6000 with a GoPro would be awesome for work and team jumps. Heck you could even through a speedlite on and be lighter than a Canon/Sony CX set up. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  13. Oh and start early, there will probably be a very short window of time when you can balance the glow of the balloon with the light level of the sky. I run into that all the time when shooting at near dark, maybe a couple minutes where every thing is perfect. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  14. I have better equipment now, but it's not necessary. A crappy tripod will work, just put some weights on it. I often use barbell weights or those ankle weights you find at the Salvation Army. You could even use a gallon jug full of water in a pinch. Put your camera in mirror lock up mode, and use either the 2 second timer, or a remote switch, so you aren't touching the camera when it shoots. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  15. This is with my Canon Rebel T1i, not sure which lens, but probably my Canon 10-22 since it was shot at 22mm. Shutter speed .8 seconds Aperture at f4.5 ISO 200 Shot at 9:00pm on July 7th, 2012. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  16. I have been doing a little experimenting with lighting. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  17. Only the T4i and up have autofocus in video mode, and it is horrible. If there isn't enough movement it will hunt back and forth trying to find out if it is in focus or not. Better off just using it in manual. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  18. Don't they have TV shows where lots of people watch video of somebody else fishing? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  19. Probably nothing by after you replace all your gear to get current. :-D "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  20. Probably a lot more than this, dz.com doesn't usually come up. I finally made it to Fitz last year, that seemed like a pretty big dz.com happening. wardhessig jrpraeter lewmonst klingeme Vallerina Sunshine mmarkley Rainbo Stratostar Snowwhite Paulagc JustaBill jameslovaas g-bomb rtwats fastfaller2 cshroy TaxingNathan lekstrom10k ryan d sucks iluvtofly TreeRat Tony-tonysuits federss jhrmustang soybeanmike tinlizzy73 Bredina captain stan keithbar skittles of SDC TerryB1 jtiflyer Rasmus remster skymama Kallend NWFlyer BillyVance CSpenceFLY skydivecat turtlespeed councilman24 trunk "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane.

  21. Mine too. To me it seems that the battery lasts quite a bit longer since the LCD screen stays off most of the time. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  22. That's cute and all, but how do you attach anything to the big ring without locking the second ring in place? Maybe that was just for demonstration purposes. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  23. Ooh, did she click "like" on the warning? Where the dz.com "Like" button? "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  24. They had to kill him to keep him from killing himself. "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
  25. Thanks Cat! "If it wasn't easy stupid people couldn't do it", Duane. My momma said I could be anything I wanted when I grew up, so I became an a$$hole.
