    Okay, I stand totally corrected on needing more than 1 shot for HDR.
  2. Costyn
    Unless you jump with more than 1 stills camera on your head, I think this is almost impossible in freefall. It will be very hard to keep your head positioned in (almost) the same spot to take several consequtive pictures. Of course, you could crop them to make them overlap, but even then you are moving and the lighthing and angle is bound to change. And would there be much point? In most skydiving situations you have lots and lots of light to work with, very little shadows which you would usually use HDR to bring out. Of course, these are my ideas/opinions. I'd be happy to hear a situation where this would be possible/useful.

    No, I haven't seen this, but I would be very curious about it. Do you happen to know if there is any video of this? In a similar way with threads as was done in the video I posted? Does the flow separation happen quickly too? I see I stirred up a nice discussion with my post and video.

    Indeed... In a way I agree with Yuri that we should be doing more research stuff (like putting the threads on the wingsuit to see the airflow). It now seems we just do too much guesswork and estimations and thinking it will work in a particular way without adequately testing it.

    I've been looking at the CX6, but the fact that it does not have firewire (dv-in/dv-out) kinda kills it for me. I mean, it is very useful to be able to copy footage to/from other people. Costyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News

    Bird-Man had the deflectors on the S3, S3S and the S6, exactly for this reason, to keep the turbulent flow longer on the wing. I guess on the Blade it was no longer deemed as useful and taken off. Unfortunately the flow over the top of the wing seems to separate almost immediately, as you can see in this revealing video making the whole idea of an airfoil shape on your wingsuit laughable. However much we would like to believe otherwise, what we "fly" are nothing more really than air deflectors, which is why Tony's 1 layer suit can actually "fly" pretty well with 2 layer wingsuits.

    Now that you mention it, yes it is... I hadn't noticed before because I had a hard time looking past the watermark. Costyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News

    Jeez... whats with the huge fugly watermarks? People ripping your pics off?

    Indeed, I think you have a good point here. Most of us are not interested in constructing a new wingsuit or talking about the theory of flight, unlike the RC plane forums you guys quoted, where people are making their own stuff and flying it. Yuri, if you really would like to discuss these things with other likeminded people, I would suggest starting a new forum somewhere else, not associated with dz.com and the poo flinging monkeys here to quote you.

    Hehe that was a Fark photoshop competition. There was a time that I used to participate in those... So yeah there's some good ones... like the butterfly wings and the rocket and the dogfight with some jet... Costyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News

    Uh well they're both somewhat docile but are nice for wingsuiting and they open nice and you can still have fun with them on landings. Costyn van Dongen - http://www.flylikebrick.com/ - World Wide Wingsuit News

    I think Jarno produces awesome things that he's allowed to have some non-awesomeness time to look at silly pictures. And the inset in the attached picture is what F16 driver is talking about.
