For skydiving purposes, I typically shoot in Tv or Av. I just recently got a polarizer for my new lens and am having trouble compensating for the 1.5 stop difference when the camera meters. Does anyone know how to make this compensation? Also, does anyone know how to use the built-in flash without the camera auto-adjusting the shutter speed to 1/125? thanks! dave

Dude; you got off CHEAP! Think of it as a business deal; You paid $107.00 to find out that your "friend" in no such thing! Drop the issue and never deal with the turd again. It could be a lot worse! dave

I disagree. Concrete tastes better.

I don't know about that--the last time I was in a sorority, there seemed to be a plethora of hot, drunk, weak-minded women who were looking for an identity... Of course I guess that's only a pro if you're a guy

wing loading at higher altitudes??
newbian replied to newbian's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
Does anyone know of a formula one could use to re-calculate a wingloading based on landing field elevation MSL? eg: the jumper's home LZ is at sea level, and a jumper is jumping a canopy loaded at 1:1. The same jumper travels to an LZ at 6000' MSL. Although his wingloading would be the same, technically wouldn't his canopy perform the same as if it were a higher wingloading at sea level? Or am I totally misunderstanding the characteristics of canopy flight at altitude? I other words, Could I accurately make a correllation between canopy performance at sea level vs. canopy performance at altitudes based on/compared to wingloading? [still not clear, but it's the best I can do right now...] thanks, snatch -
can any of the more experienced basejumpers out there explain the best method/different/safest methods of a pilot chute assist? It seems that I've seen it done a few different ways in videos and such, but what's the best and why?
