Having been a jumper and done a lot of shooting around the DZ I can really appreciate this shot. Great shot!

Wow I've never seen flags flown like this before! Great composition - it feels freeform but is well balanced. The blue sky and blue flags are eye catching too.

Fun and nice!

Thank you all for your comments on this and some of my other Red Bull pictures. I’m so glad that you liked them. I was surprised at how quickly these guys fell towards the ground! It was my first attempt at photographing skydivers and I found it really difficult to continually adjust focal length and focus as they cut backwards and forwards above the crowd. I pleased that a few of my many shots were in focus!

 

All the best, Mike
