Right on...I was using "sports" for a while on my PC-9. I was getting vertical smear on every sunset jump (see pic). I´m on "beach&sky" now and it´s fine... Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!

Got the Peleng on a XTi... Settings: M Program F 8.0 1/640 ISO 400 Here are some pics: Pic 01, Pic 02, Pic 03, Pic 04, Pic 05, Pic 06, Pic 07, Pic 08, Pic 09, Pic 10, Pic 11, Pic 12. Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!

Great shots, Arvel. I bought the Sigma 15mm...been playing around with it on the ground testing the AI Servo on my 400D and it´s very fast...but didn´t have a chance to jump it (still using my Peleng 8mm - see pics here). What was your setup for the skydiving pics? I think I´ll try "Av" mode with F11.0 and AI Servo...what do you think? Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!

Heli Jump BASE Game trailer Does anyone ever played this? Hey...ho...let's go!

Used Pinnacle 9 on this one... Video HERE What you guys think...? Cheers! Hey...ho...let's go!

Well...at least you´re doing some tandem. I don´t know if it has been posted here but take a look at this guy... Bottom line: TAKE YOUR TIME, DUDE! Hey...ho...let's go!

Just got mine from Competition... It took a little longer than normal...not because I´m in Brazil and they are in Australia...but because they didn´t have any 400D to shape the glove. Anyway...it´s a great piece of work. Cheers! Hey...ho...let's go!

Just once...from an AS 350 Ecureuil. Love it! Hey...ho...let's go!

Great Tandem pic Jeff...what was your camera setup for that? Lens? Flash? Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!

Yeah...otherwise my camera box cover won´t close... Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!

That didn´t work for me... I use neoprene cover (here) and this still happens. I try to keep the lens clean and warm... Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!

Fogging really sux! The attached still was taken from the very first time I´ve filmed my wife...I was very upset when I saw the fogging... Someone told me to sit near a window during the climb and put your lens directly under the sun but I´ve never tried... Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!

Crosswind is a great one too... Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!

Congrats, man!

I´m willing to try my "old" F717...I´ll let you know how it worked. One more thing: F288: 906 g F717: 659 g 350D: 540 g The F828 is kinda heavy ain´t it? Before trying anything new, seek advice from experienced jumpers.. Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!

Dear Alcohol, First & foremost, let me tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed. The perfect post-work cocktail, a beer at the game, and you're even around in the holiday's hidden inside chocolates as you warm us when we're stuck in the midst of endless family gatherings. However, lately I've been wondering about your intentions. While I want to believe that you have my best interests at heart, I feel that your influence has led to some unwise consequences: 1. Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 a.m. Why would you make me call those ex-girlfriends / boyfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night? 2. Eating: Now, you know I love a good meal, but why do you suggest that I eat a taco with chili sauce, along with a big Italian meatball and some stale chips(washed down with WINE & topped off with a Kit Kat after a few cheese curls& chili cheese fries)? I'm an eclectic eater, but I think you went too far this time. 3. Clumsiness: Unless you're subtly trying to tell me that I need to do more yoga to improve my balance, I see NO need to hammer the issue home by causing me to fall down. It's completely unnecessary, and the black & blue marks that appear on my body mysteriously the next day are beyond me. Similarly, it should never take me more than 45 seconds to get the front door key into the lock. 4. Furthermore: The hangovers have GOT to stop. This is getting ridiculous. I know a little penance for our previous evening's debauchery may be in order, but the 3pm hangover immobility is completely unacceptable. My entire day is shot. I ask that, if the proper precautions are taken (water, vitamin B, bread products, aspirin) prior to going to sleep/passing out face down on the kitchen floor with a bag of popcorn, the hangover should be minimal & in no way interfere with my daily activities. Alcohol, I have enjoyed our friendship for some years now & would like to ensure that we remain on good terms. You've been the invoker of great stories, the provocation for much laughter, and the needed companion when I just don't know what to do with the extra money in my pockets. In order to continue this friendship, I ask that you carefully review my grievances above & address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 3pm (pre-happy hour) on your possible solutions& hopefully we can continue this fruitful partnership. P.S.THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK: 1.Innovative 2.Preliminary 3.Proliferation 4.Cinnamon THINGS THAT ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY WHEN DRUNK: 1.Specificity 2.British Constitution 3.Passive-aggressive disorder THINGS THAT ARE DOWNRIGHT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHEN DRUNK: 1.Thanks, but I don't want to have sex. 2.Nope, no more beer for me. 3.Sorry, but you're not really my type. 4.Good evening, officer. Isn't it lovely out tonight? 5. Oh, I couldn't. No one wants to hear me sing. Cheers, Alvaro... Hey...ho...let's go!

Hi...I hope you can help me out on this one. I was using Win 98 with Studio DV nicely but I had to format my HD and install Windows XP Professional. Now I can´t control my Mini-DV using the software and neither see the timing on it. Does anyone know how to solve this? Cheers, Alvaro Hey...ho...let's go!
