The following are images taken during an invite event in Sebastian on July 2007. Some of the flyers were there to brush up on their freefly formation skills and others are warming up for Chicago's Summerfest, where the 2007 Freefly World Record Attempts are going to be held. I definitely would like to say that it makes me happy to see the Florida freefly crowd enjoying good weekends like this! Thanks everyone :) To check out more photos from the weekend, click on my blog link below: Sebastian Freeflight Invite Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com

Thanx guys for the compliments. I'm very new as far as aerial photography, but it's been really fun experimenting with different shots. And yes, that's Katie's Trevor in the images. Good stuff good stuff! I took a bunch of portraiture-type shots of everyone who participated in the sequential event. You can check them out on the link to my MySpace page on the Blog section :) Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com

I'm in the same situation as you. I use the Canon 5D in the air (though i'm brand new to aerial photography) and the Mark II for work. I agree, it's an extremely heavy camera to push down on your neck, especially if you're adding a flash. I just had a helmet made by Wes and it fits my flash and 5D. So far, I'm lovin' it and it's working out well. Though I'm not sure how much longer Wes will be continuing to develop the CCMs. Good luck with your decision in this

Hellz Yeah....that's wat I'm scream'n...great stuff!! Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com

Good stuff...that's the great thing about this sport is that everyone searches for their own personal freedom. Whether it's about training, playing, or working...there's something for all of us Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com

VRW (now known officially as VFS or Vertical Formation Skydiving) is an up and coming discipline that is pushing the envelope of Freeflying and the people who participate in it. I agree that VFS is moving toward being more formal, but in order for it to be a legitamite discipline for USPA and IPC, we have to start w/ some type of structure for judges and competitors to work off of. All disciplines (pretty much) have had to start somewhere in developing a structure to their discipline such as Formation Skydiving, Freestyle, CRW, etc. All in all, if people tend to shy away from VFS because of their theories that it's not 'true' freeflying, then so be it. You cannot educate people on VFS flying if they are not willing to open their minds to it. My own personal feelings about it, if people look down upon VFS and want to take it away from the Freefly genre, then it's okay w/ me. Though it makes no sense to have a narrow mind regarding this, because all those who participate in VFS are some of the best "Freeflyers" in the world. I myself love VFS and I know it's here to stay. Usually when people criticize a specific discipline in this sport, it's typically because that person(s) cannot do it. There's no need to try and downtalk another's discipline and how it applies to a genre if you haven't gotten your feet wet in it and actually have participated in it. I guess my point is...keep an open mind about 'big picture' and just have some fun, because that's what most of us are here to do anyway :) Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com

Uhh, I ran across this vid. Talk about dragging a toe?! Or wheel!! Plane Swoop? Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com

Great photo....that's definitely one of those one in a million shots....fun fun!!! Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com

Getting this post back up....I just wanted to throw another website in there for the masses

Just to let everyone know, Trent flies much better after a big glass of milk, so let's pitch in and make sure he is provided much lactose for the day! (he'll need all the help he can get) Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com

Adobe Lightroom (Beta 2 version)........this is a really nice program that is FREE and it controls workflow very well (especially with RAW format photos). Give it a try.

Yes, that's a good point. I was actually thinking the same thing whenever I was shooting photos (and getting extremely frustrated) at the tunnel. I have a remote that I can control two of my flashes and throw those things on slave mode. That's my plan so far. Thanks for all the input from everybody by the way :) Jason Jerusalem life@jasonjerusalem.com

Was wondering if anybody had any good tips with shooting inside the tunnel with a flash. I was inside the tunnel shooting some flyers, but it seemed that the plexiglass reflection and all the multiple lights interfered with how the picture came out (I'm shooting with a Canon digital SLR and Canon Speedflash).
