Get your butt out there Saturday with all those tandems and maybe you will be. My goal is to do 4-6 a year. make 'em collector's item! Sarah, I'd put you in it in a heart beat!

Sounds like some signed up for the GI bill and never imagined they may have to be a soldier. whiners! Man, the Army has changed a lot since way back when!!! Just imagine the emails the greatest generation could have written as they landed on Normandy! Nah, I doubt they would have done the same. /griping and being an old fart

I had one like that up -- but consenus @ the DZ and on this forum was we liked seeing the face on exit better. Thanks for your input though. BTW I did crop reserve JM leg (on the original) as I was not happy with his white jump suit blending into the white sky. Good suggestion!

Kris: When I was at Cushing (long time ago) you had purple. Mike Swearingen has a purple birdman + he has the same color of canopy as mine: purple/teal. See you at the DZ I hope!

I agree -- so I cropped it -- better? http://www.skydivevideo.info/poster3_small.jpg

yeah, canopy shot! Some FF too! Thanks!

Bring a small cell phone with you in the jump suit -- It may come in handy for off DZ landings.

I made this poster (24" x 18") from some of my stills. Any thoughts? My goal was to keep it bright, eye catching with a simple message. The plan is to place in bars and college dorms, and other places. http://www.skydivevideo.info/poster3_small.jpg

Premiere can do that easily -- I don't know what your budget is, but there are some 6.0s pretty affordable on Ebay.

Guess it shows I usually don't post here ... back to the photogs forum!

I'm trying to get all this political stuff straightened out in my head so I'll know how to vote come November. Right now, we have one guy saying one thing. Then the other guy says something else. Who to believe? Lemme see -- have I got this straight? Clinton awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Yugoslavia - good ... Bush awards Halliburton no-bid contract in Iraq - bad... Clinton spends 77 billion on war in Serbia - good... Bush spends 87 billion in Iraq - bad... Clinton imposes regime change in Serbia - good... Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad... Clinton bombs Christian Serbs on behalf of Muslim Albanian terrorists- good... Bush liberates 25 million from a genocidal dictator - bad... Clinton bombs Chinese embassy - good... Bush bombs terrorist camps - bad... Clinton commits felonies while in office - good... Bush lands on aircraft carrier in jumpsuit - bad... No mass graves found in Serbia - good... No WMD found Iraq - bad... Stock market crashes in 2000 under Clinton - good... Economy on upswing under Bush - bad... Clinton refuses to take custody of Bin Laden - good... World Trade Centers fall under Bush - bad... Clinton says Saddam has nukes - good... Bush says Saddam has nukes - bad... Clinton calls for regime change in Iraq - good... Bush imposes regime change in Iraq - bad... Terrorist training in Afghanistan under Clinton - good... Bush destroys training camps in Afghanistan - bad... Milosevic not yet convicted - good... Saddam turned over for trial - bad... Ahh, it's so confusing! Every year an independent tax watchdog group analyzes the average tax burden on Americans, and then calculates the "Tax Freedom Day". This is the day after which the money you earn goes to you, not the government. This year, tax freedom day was April 11th. That's the earliest it has been since 1991. It's latest day ever was May 2nd, which occurred in 2000. Notice anything special about those dates? Recently, John Kerry gave a speech in which he claimed Americans are actually paying more taxes under Bush, despite the tax cuts. He gave no explanation and provided no data for this claim. Another interesting fact: Both George Bush and John Kerry are wealthy men. Bush owns only one home, his ranch in Texas. Kerry owns 4 mansions, all worth several million dollars. (His ski resort home in Idaho is an old barn brought over from Europe in pieces. Not your average A-frame). Bush paid $250,000 in taxes this year; Kerry paid $90,000. Does that sound right? The man who wants to raise your taxes obviously has figured out a way to avoid paying his own. Only a few days until the? election! Please Vote!!! I think I'll vote for Bush.

A guy I know went in for surgery and well ... check out the attachment. You'll be okay Dave!

Very helpful, thanks! One last follow up question: When Parachututist requests the image to be 300 DPI, do I change it with PS or just send it as is?

One MORE thing Roger did right ... raise an awesome daughter! Way to go Missy! Great response!

I'd change the Steven "CRAIG" to "CAPTAIN" Don't ask why -- just like the name, captain.

It wa more like 4 miles away!! I blame mike for the spot. I told him I had no clue where 2 miles out was. Problem was, we were going two miles out and "turn around" We never got to the turn around part! Anyway it was a blast! Congrats on your grad jump!

1) magazines require a higher DPI 2) wouldn't a higher DPI "look" better as a print?

Yeah, thanks, that helps.

I may be dumb, sorry -- really, I'm educated (Master's degree) but very kinestetic. I learn by seeing & doing, rarely by simply reading. I set the image as large and used the canon utility to transfer (download) I set it's perameters as 300 DPI, but what I get is 72 DPI. (42 inches long) So, are you saying, Peter, to use PS to change the DPI from 72 to 300? I did this while changing the size from 42" to 11" and it "seemed" to look okay, but I haven't printed it.

Feel better?

I hope you all realize my response was said (typed) with 'tongue in cheek'. I'm a low timer too. I think so many low timers feel slighted when their questions are answered with, "read FAQ" or "get more jumps". The truth is usually that IS the best response. Again, it may come across as "unhelpful" but it is the best response in most cases.

Yeah, everyone here are @#$%& -- they just want to keep the low timers out of their territory, yeah, that's it.

Peter: Yes, it is set on large. So the only way to change is with software, not the camera?
