CornishChris 5 #29 June 2, 2003 You do realise Australia is the same size as the states don't you?! That said the one Aussie DZ I jump at is pretty spectacular. I think it is less about which DZ than which place. I would have to go for Hawaii of somewhere like Fiji over all of the ickle islands... CJP Gods don't kill people.

jtval 0 #32 June 3, 2003 LOL well relatively speaking...when I drive to cali, utah and arizona on a semi-regular basis FEW becomes subjective! lol in your story you could taken two rolls of film and swapped them out before they TROOPS arrived! lol y know. you land tkae the film out of your camera toss it under a rock tkae a few pics of "X" standing in the middle of nowhere and wait for the cammies to get there! hand everything over resentfully and let them feel happy! then kick siad rock and grab your film!My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #33 June 3, 2003 Actually, that's pretty much the real way to do it. I always advise people to have a roll of dummy film to hand over whenever they're shooting subjects that will attract the attention of other people. The other people don't even have to be cops or anyone of any importance -- just jerks trying to keep you from taking a legal shot. Hand over a dummy roll and they'll think they've "won".quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
