that makes sense for being on the ground or something, but what about in the sky, my only thought is that its on a pole or something. am i working along the correct idea, and if that is the case, how do you keep it from bouncing around and vibrating at a distance of approx. 5' from his body.

my tiny mind is not grasping how the hell you did that, what type of photography trick did you use?



That's not a trick, it's a normal work flow for a photographer/panographer ...
but to do this from a tandem parachute it's a total adrenaline rush ;-)

I used for this shoot a normal Canon 400D D-SLR with a Sigma 8mm/F3,5 lens on
a special homemade bracket (nodalpointadapter) and a normal monopod.
Also I used a cable release and lot's of tape.

Here are some making of pictures from this jump:

Have fun ;-)

Yep, it gives a great picture of skydiving, in more ways than one. On the surface, it's all "blue skies", i.e. puppy dogs and rainbows. But if one looks a little closer one can also find a little bit of the dark side of this sport.

For you jumpers out there...
click your mouse at the center of the screen and hold the button down. While holding that, move the cursor to one of the top corners...then to the bottom corner of the same side, then back & forth between that top & bottom corner.

I'll just say it reminds me of something I prefer not to see very often, and may very well induce nightmares for some of you. :D:D:D

Overall, very entertaining. Thanks for sharing! B|

That....is just f*cking fantastic.
You made me wanna cry at work. FFF***CCCKK I gotta get back in the air!!

And it's the perfect visual aid to alert all my whuffo friends and coworkers to what they're missing.

You geeks out there know any way I can make it keep moving and use it as a screen saver?

That's awesome! Great work.

Ha! I was beginning to wonder whether there was anyone left in the bonfire who actually skydives and can recognize a spinner. :D

Never had one but just watching that made me a little dizzy.

Hope I react better than that when the time comes [:/]

Great pic though actually forwarded it to the chick who Im trying to convince to come.
I keep telling my friends skydiving will fix all your problems, Im a fibber you just let go a minute at a time. Choose what to do with it.
