Zennie 0 #1 October 21, 2001 Well I finally managed to take my new camera for a test spin so I took it out to the DZ yesterday.The pics are here...The funny thing about digital cameras is that there is about a 3-second delay between when you press the shutter and then get the photo. So it took a lot of attempts to get a swoop but I really like the one that I got.And yeah I know the lighting is bad in some of them, but I'm still learning about composition & such..."Wear the grudge like a crown.

skymedic 0 #2 October 21, 2001 schweet pics man...how many fricken mega pixels was that swoop pic...???MarcBecause I fly, I envy no man on earth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zennie 0 #3 October 22, 2001 The camera was a Nikon Coolpix 885. It's a 3.2M pixel camera.I took the photos at 2048x1536 resolution and medium-level JPEG compression.It's a pretty cool camera with lots of features that I'm still trying to get a handle on. I'm sure I'll be posting more as I learn a little more & get better at it. "Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control. Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper."

airann 1 #8 October 23, 2001 THAT IS A BAD ASS PICTURE OF WAYNE.Zennie that one and the other pictures are SO STOLEN for my site! -right now.They are GONE my man......SAVE the original of Wayne, I would like it done for my wall - Its a must have- of my brother! I will get the print material. That one and my main man Levin's headdown that Eric took are on the WALL, also there is one headdown in front of a Norwegian Sunset of Espen that is poster worthy. My God, I miss him SO MUCH. Wayne.. (and Levin too, but he constantly calls, he knows better)(he broke ankle)(ah.. I just now had to call him, he is fine)I heard Wayne's voice Sat night and almost broke another leg trying to get to the phone. Typical Wayne style, Call me & no return phone number... but these days there are ways. Anyway, he sounded really good. HE has a great phone voice anyway. Even when its 3 AM. Zenster... non approved pictures of AirAnn... will be considered bad form. Dude, sign this waiver... Cuz looks like I will be there is weekend for the 'gathering'.Ramon, what ever you do, just dont talk to anyone. .... Meesah thinks... you do the exact opposite of the dive plan anyway... (...have I watched too many reruns of Fantom Menace) Whoops, people here with skydivbinpictures...........byeTrey, quit lurking and write something...... LOL, Hi Babe!Levin tells me you saw Waynes pic here. Just now.Skydive~Friends~HappinessAirAnnhttp://www.AirAnn.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airann 1 #9 October 23, 2001 Wayne's picture is not great as Wallpaper, just a tip.Skydive~Friends~HappinessAirAnnhttp://www.AirAnn.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zennie 0 #10 October 23, 2001 QuoteWayne's picture is not great as Wallpaper, just a tip.I resized the picture to a more "medium" size. Looks nice as a wallpaper on my monitor (set at 1024x768).You can grab it here."Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control. Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper."

Zennie 0 #11 October 23, 2001 BTW. Thanks all for the complements. It gives me warm fuzzies. And of course Ann, picture theft is the sincerest form of flattery. Just make sure I get credit if it winds up in Parachutist. "Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control. Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper."

Slappie 9 #15 October 24, 2001 Why does he hate Spaceland? You need to talk to him, we're trying to get a DZ.com Record jump Nov 9th thru the 11th. Got a few coming in for it... My New Website with 24hr Chat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #16 October 24, 2001 Zennie,I don't know who the swooper is, but tell that boy he needs to pull that damn slider down and loosen his chest strap! I like the one of Scotty Carbone; that boy is a mess, but he sure can cook! Does he still pull low?Where are the pics of the naked women? Enquiring minds want to know!Chuck"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #17 October 24, 2001 He used to be one of the JMs out there and has his reasons for refusing to jump out there except for TSL meets. Actually he almost quit skydiving cause of it. So pretty much the odds of him and I breaking up are better than him fun jumping out there. So unless he is playing paintball that weekend or something we will be out at Skydive Houston.Kelli Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ramon 0 #19 October 24, 2001 Wane doesn't care about chest strap or slider, he knows I bug him about it all the time. He is still learning and doing better than me with his carves I must say.More importantly is that his brakes are trimmed so tight on the 1995 Extreme that the tail is deflected by barely moving the toggles.

skycat 0 #21 October 24, 2001 WonderBoy = Derek....trust me it is a fitting nickname per his own post on Rec dot."2600+jumps, all the ratings, including pilot & rigger" See.....he is wonderboy, a legend in his own mind. :P Errrr....hope he doesn't read this news group or my butt is going to be kicked.Kelli Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #24 October 25, 2001 QuoteWe have the cutest guys at Spacey.....Funny. I was thinking the same thing about the ladies! I'm gonna start taking it out regularly & create a little online scrapbook. So The Lovely Paula will soon assume her rightful place on the site as well.
