  1. Most of them (the good ones) don't. You can do a lot of things without instruction. Freedom to be stupid is an inalienable right. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  2. Nice April. Where's all the ones of me taken from across the whole landing area? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  3. Do you mean the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM which is at around thousand dollars ? That would be about 10 times more expensive.. No, I mean the EF-S 18-55mm IS. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  4. There's a couple different versions, and they're all in stock on amazon.com. I've heard the newer IS one is actually pretty decent. A bit more expensive but still cheap for a lens. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  5. Photos from the event (click on Feb 2008 gallery) www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  6. How many are of me in the landing area? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  7. Use pricegrabber.com and search by price and store rating. Decent ones are B&H, Adorama, Beach Camera, Butterfly, etc. Amazon usually is pretty competitive with price too, and can't be beat as far as megastore reliability. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  8. Nice job Phil, was all that footage yours? I didn't realize you did so much non-wingsuit jumping that week! I've been wanting to do a time-lapse of Jeff ice carving for a while now, you beat me to it! I liked how you centered the palm tree behind the sculpture. And wtf was up with the dude in a kilt? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  9. 6) Elbow Scott in the thigh? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  10. We all enjoyed seeing you there, and you're not as "shy" as you think. Cya next year.
  11. Is this similar to how you bought a camera with like 100 jumps but weren't going to jump it? And then you bought a camera helmet but weren't going to jump it? And then asked for advice on how to jump your camera helmet? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  12. I'm sure Yuri and Jarno have specific procedures for intitiating a new wingsuit, but I'm not sure you or I want to hear those. Put it on and fly it.
  13. Here they are. WINGSUIT SKYDIVING! It's the gallery at the very top, February 2008. Also, for those of you who did not see it, this is a poster that the DZ hung around town, in bars, etc. Thanks again to everybody who showed up, and to all the new faces I met. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  14. Spot, I'm not sure I understand which side of this issue you are on. Could you elaborate? My completely un-educated guess in that within 2-3 years BD players will be very prevalent in many houses. And in 10 years, they'll probably still be around even if something better exists, just as a lot of people still have VCR's. I'll probably buy a burner for my PC in the next year or two, if the media prices drop. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  15. Ha, I like the look on Justin's face in the second one. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  16. I'm pretty sure that some of the higher end cameras offer a setting that will accomplish this. I remember seeing an exposure setting that gives you +/- in each direction on my 5D. I'll have to pull the manual out as I know there is an easy way to do this even in skydiving. That's called exposure bracketing, this means your camera takes 3 or 5 pics in whatever it's fps rate is while varying the exposure by 1/3 or 1/2 stop each. Very workable on a tripod, no good in freefall... Yeh, plus it's present in bottom of the line Rebels. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  17. Nice to meet you down there Jeff (was it you that mentioned the Notwist and Thrice?). Many other new friends made from Colorado and the Northeast. Nice to see all the new faces. I'll have some pictures up in a few days and the video a bit later. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  18. You took everyone else's rum to Spain? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  19. Wow, I was just there in December... only the second time in my life I'd ever seen snow! Boarded all the green and blue runs and had a lot of fun. Saw no avalanches. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  20. Will the HC9 have the same problems the HC7 has with freefall? What makes the HC9 superior to the HC5 (for skydiving)? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  21. Hey Kevin, Just use the camcorder lens filters and select "Century" and "37mm" and there will only be 4 search results. Or go HERE straight to the item. If for some reason that doesn't work for you here are the ID#'s straight from that page: Mfr# 0DS-55WA-37 • B&H# CEDS55WA37 www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  22. What about the Century single element .55x I have? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  23. Since I'll be flying in from Houston for this one, I can't lug my tent along. I got a room at the Quality Inn & Suites near the DZ, non-smoking, two queen beds, $85 per night, for 3/13-3/16. If anybody wants to split it with me and share costs, send a PM. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  24. If possible? Do you doubt that it is possible to not jump it? www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  25. Better late than never? It's taken me a bit longer than usual this time, partly because I wasn't looking forward to editing a bunch of footage with fog circles on it. Anyway, hope everybody enjoys it. Download from: My site (also, check out the "BONUS" video Phyxius Project if you haven't seen it yet) Skydiving Movies (pending approval) www.WingsuitPhotos.com
