skydiving en nouvelle zelande
(photo prise par ma soeur pdt son sejour là -bas.. enfin prise par qqn d'autre a ce moment là vu que c'est la fille en rouge)
I started skydiving again in 2005 and formed a 4 way skydiving team in 2006. We had a coach so one of us would drop out in rotation and the coach filled the spot. On this occasion i dropped out and followed the team down videoing and photographing the team. We won gold at the state championships in Bordertown later that year.
This shot was about 7000 ft and were are doing 200km/hr. Wide angle is used so actually a lot closer than it looks. Degree of difficulty: 10.
Luke: "So uh, I hope I can use the force to soften my landing, cuz I kinda forgot to wear a parachute!"
working late on a festival / relaxing with a beer or two in a hotel room with the crew as sun comes up / / new camera with fast shutter speed - an indoor skydiving competition seemed the logical thing to do.
Imagine it's 10am and you're just leaving the airport after picking up your friend who's visiting from another continent. What would you say to someone who just spent 14 hours on a Boeing 747?
If you were Mike it might be something like "hey, wanna go skydiving?"
An hour later I was flying in, and jumping out of, a small propeller powered airplane for the first time.
The guy attached to my back basically had to push me off the plane.
After that everything was great.
If you gotta die someday might as well be in Hawaii skydiving. Man where should I start...I've done Motocross, scuba diving, surfing, snowboarding...etc
nothing I mean nothing compares to skydiving what a rush. To free fall at 130 MPH for a full minute from 14000 feet high. I mean, if something goes wrong you die it's that simple.
One thing I have to say, I was so fucking gripped up there.....AH,AH,AH,AH,AH.....
I highly (no pun intended) recommend EVERYONE go skydiving. The thrill of free falling out of a plane is one we all should experience. Don't think I wasn't scared moments before being pushed out of that plane!
Spent some time with the kids down at the local airport today watching the weekly skydiving club meet. None of the pics really turned out well enough to stand in it's own, so a little triptych was in order.

A fall day in 2019 when we visted our son participating in his Skydiving Hobby. This was a new topic for me and some interesting capture methods and positions.
Enjoy

Have I seen the circle of the earth?
Have I seen the endless ecstatic joy?
Indeed, I've seen the circle of the earth..
Indeed, I've seen the stream of flying-men
It's as if I was right there, flying with them!
Fascinated, I had to see the longer version as well!
