Flight is a beautiful thing! Love it. Great shot!

First jump with the Pentax K10D

Amazing shot!!! Should be on the cover of National Geographic!!! Please show more!!!

7-7

Open and uncluttered. Your image is so simple that it is breath taking. Simply beautiful.

Gave ya a big 7-7, Tomas. Being a Freeflyer and camera flyer myself, I can appreciate the work and talent that it takes to capture a great shot while a planet is coming at ya at 150mph!!!! Hope to see more in the future. One thing though, I think, and only my opinion, you might think other, that the shot would had more WOW factor if posted with the freeflyer's head at the top of the frame, gives the viewer the perspective of the headdown flyer. Were you in a sitfly or also headdown when the shot was made? Feel free to take a look at my gallery.

Some creative cropping would improve this photo as there is, at least to me, to much blue.

Please excuse my scanner as it does not do such a good job. Time for

a new scanner.

This is a shot of two freeflyers preparing to dock. Our freefall

speed was in excess of 170mph (I know this from a freefall computer I

wear on each jump). From exiting the plane at 13,500' till break off

at 4000' I had less than 30sec. of working time to fly my body into

position to light my subjects to start shooting.

Want to add a new element to photography? Try this. With just seconds

to work and the ground rushing up to meet you I cannot think of a

better working enviroment. I LOVE IT!!!

Any tip of a rip off is a 7-7

Sometimes cats will stop messing around long enough to get that one

shot works for me. Hope others like it as much as I do.
