PhreeZone 20 #1 March 17, 2002 Whats everyones hight above 2 ways, 4 ways and 8 ways that they fly and with what lens combo? I'm trying to save myself some jump tickets by picking up some hints before i go and fly too low or too high again...I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend... ~3EB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WmLauterbach 0 #2 March 18, 2002 focal length and distance from the formation can be two different animals...BUTIf you are using a medium/wide (.5 or .6) you can fly about 10 feet up and be comfortable. If you are using a very wide angle(.42/.45) , you will have to fly closer to get the same frame size, which means you will spend more time flying in someone elses bad air (or maybe even falling on top of them) You can even shoot without a conversion lens, and add about 5 more feet of separation while still getting ABOUT the same frame size... My advice is: spend some money on lift tickets, and look for your 'sweetspot' until you figure out what works best for YOU... Every 'camera-guy' will eventually find a sweetspot that works for them. The only way to find it is to make mistakes. Do your best to make "safe" mistakes, and I promise you will see the difference. Good luck up there...
