    Hey cloud monkey, I only have a hand full with the still camera and I'm using the setting you just mentioned I notice that in bright days I get a blur circle in the midle of the picture like it was over exposed, now TV mode supposed make the right ecuations to avoid that to happenen whatever is regulating the shutter speed or the aperture, what I could be doing wrong here? Remember is only in brigtht days Thanks http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    Go to your finder in the computer upper left, connect your computer to internet then go to software update upper left botton cascade menu then select the softwares you want to upgrade, I suggest do it one at a time, in this case iMOVIE, there is also i tunes, garage band etc I'm yet to use my powerbook with a pc105 but i use pc101 and no problems, I have a friend with a pc 105 I'll try it the next time. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    Just my two cts, I would leave the skydiving part out, a couple years ago I was also looking for a job and I also had the skydiving part in it, after talking to a friend about it he recommended to leave it out since we don't have that much of a good reputatition, anyway I got two jobs inteviews with resumes that I had not mentioned about skydive. Two weeks ago I had an interview with 5 of my bosses one of them told me that when I first started and somebody told him I jump out planes for fun, he did not had much faith in my work but after two years working toghether he changed he's mind, exact words were " skydive is your only pitfall" I also got the highest review possible. Peace http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    I would like to talk about the Safire openings in my experience. I had a 190 Sabre that I used to roll the nose to get soft openings then I got my old Safire 1 and used to slam me everytime until I started exposing the nose and psyco packing, now I use the same method with my crossfire and I haven't had a bad opening. Somebody said something about PD's research or was it Icarus???? Thanks Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    Can anybody explain how leaving the nose expose or if you believe rolling it creates slow openings on high performance conopies? Difference between accuracy canopies vs high performance canopies opening wise, try to create a slower opening.? Two diffrent questions motivated by a subtopic about the Safire openings. Don't want to open the can of worms between psyco packing or propacking just do you roll the nose or not to get slow openings. Thanks Carlos http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  11. BETO74
    The nose in Accuracy canopies are litle different than the Safire I can see why rolling the nose in those canopies work, on high performance canopies the nose is left expose to create slow openings, don't really feel like arguing today so I leave the post for somebody else to explain better than I could do. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
  12. BETO74
    Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but rolling the nose produce hard openings istead try to leave the nose alone expose, I had a Safire 169 an I got the sweetest openings psyco-packing but thats another can of worms, what ever your packing method is leave the nose exposed. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    Is very important, simply because you could catch up with the people that exited first, you could find yourself opening or tracking in somebodys airspace. Hope somebody will elaborate a better answer. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    FEAR

    BETO74 replied to tmontana's topic in Safety and Training

    Stadistics show that a lot of people skydivers quit before jump 500, I know a lot of people that have done that just lose their motivation I guess, I know a couple people quitting because they were really scare after hundreds of jumps, I know I was scare on my first 100 jumps or so , I still get a litle nevous when I try something new but I always rmember the feeling of landing safe after a successful skydive. If you fear not performing well during a malfunction, or know you would not perform well, maybe the right thing is to quit you're the only one that know that for a fact so I guess the question is for yourself. Hurry up the sky is waiting!!!!!! http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    I have two camera helmets one for FF one for RW, I have install Cam eye in both, the only problem I'm having recently is The Cam eye turns off the camera on Freefall, so I came back to just turn on the camera before jumping and hope for the best, I think the problem is in the camera the connector got damage maybe for taking tha cam eye in an out for several jumps. Personal I love the Cam eye To the point that sometimes I forget the connector is not working properly and still connect the Eye to later find out it turned the camera off. But I love my litle red/blue light next to my glasses. Later http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    All I can say is, speed is your friend, more speed more lift if you're loading your canopy 1:3 you'll need lift to get a powerful flare. I think you are taking more risk coming on final half breaks since you will leave litle power for a flare a canopy class will be a good idea. Now I'm not saying do a low turn or anything crazy to get that speed but you probably need to get confortable with the speed of your canopy on straigh approaches, if you can't I'll suggest a new canopy that you don't load that much. Just my two cts. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    All I can say is Apple uses DVD-R don't really know why, but if you have a generic DVD burner should take either. Sorry I can't help http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    Simply because -IS NEVER ENOUGH- and I don't have time to up date daily or weekly, no that I make a lot of jumps I always try to get a minimun of 20 at month at least. Same reason why with my number of jumps I only have the A license, Lazyness. http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html

    I just got a powerbook from Apple and I love it you could get the lower end and still get video editing capabilities is a fun plus over the other ones, I was worry about compatability issues but now they solve most of the problems I think they are a lot better for presentations too, just my two cts http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
