    You did better than we did in Puerto Rico (video in my sig). We were stupid and got the plane way too far from the formation and had to max out to get there. The best I could do was go by about 30 feet low. BUT I did roll over on my back and continue to watch it from underneath. Your video was cool. One of those guys who broke away early and was zooming side to side with his canopy would have made me nervous... looks like he was almost coming for you at the end - if he had started that swoop to the left a little earlier it looks as if he would have cut you off and you'd have had to abort. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Perry's jumping an HC1. I've seen quite a few of these being jumped around the country in the past 6 months, but I have not seen anybody jumping an HC3 (which just hit the shelves, or is going to as far as I know). www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    You don't need to actually jump with the lens to figure out the FOV. Go into a camera store with your DVcam and wide lens. And bring your 350D. Ask the salesman if you can try a lens on your camera and see how it matches up with the DV FOV by aiming at the wall or something. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    He has a website at www.sprinc.org but it seems to be down right now. View Google's cached version here to see his contact info (bottom of page). www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    2.3MP is FAR inferior to 35mm film. "Professional" digital photographers shoot anywhere from 8-15MP, I'd say. Somewhere in that range, your quality becomes roughly equivalent to film. I've heard estimates thrown out there before, I think maybe 13MP was the number I heard. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    V-2?

    The111 replied to TomAiello's topic in Wing Suit Flying

    What about two people make a rodeo exit off a fixed object. During the flight the passenger dismounts and deploys his/her own parachute. Would that technically be a skydive for the passenger? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    I think the caption was supposed to say "Special Ted flying a Vampire". www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Hmm, some of my favorite movies work very well. The Shawshank Erection Eternal Erection of the Spotless Mind The Big Erection (Lebowski...) www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    I'd like to send a shout out ("tweetings") to all my British friends from the weekend. Pentagram, Pentagon and Pantomime: you guys all rock! I hope I didn't miss anybody, but I'm sure Omar will cover any others I left out. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    That is a very cool video. I really like the intro. Thanks. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    I have heard the Sony (which one) is pretty good. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    There are reasons I stay away from the bonfire. They are the same reasons (to a lesser extent) that some skydivers stay away from dropzone.com in general. The stuff on here is asinine at times. Seriously, come on. A post on a public internet forum whining that you are not getting laid? And then calling someone who is getting laid a liar? What exactly is your intent here? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    You've got to be kidding me... pretty much everything Avery said made me chuckle somehow. I'd like to see those pics... I also liked that bird a LOT. So much I was reading about them for an hour this morning and spent a long time trying to decide if one would survive in my apartment with two cats. I have never in my life wanted a pet bird before, but that little guy was awesome, smart, and friendly. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    If you're referring to picture #3, that's not who you think it is... he is further up out of frame. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    A few teaser pics from Friday.

    I do not have my camera with me now, but I seem to remember the battery meter only having 3 states: empty, "half full", and full. It bothers me when a device does not have better resolution on the battery meter than this. When it reaches the middle state, I have no idea how much longer I have before it fully dies. Does anybody know of any way to more accurately gauge the remaining life? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Some pics I took recently here. Some would make good wallpapers, particularly #5, 6, and 10. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Your definition of tight may not be the same as mine. The DeLand bigway is one of the tightest I've seen (picture in this year's Flock & Dock PDF, available somewhere in this thread), but it was still not as tight as I'd like to see. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Around 25, but it was not tight throughout. I have never seen larger than a 10 way TIGHT. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
