    Not sure which of Perry's cutaway videos you're referring to, but the one at the end of my Z-Flock 2.0 video was actually on a Spectre, I believe. He had been getting away with jumping his Blade for a long time and switched to the Spectre to be smarter. A few jumps later he had a brake fire, as seen in the video. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    It's possible. On my first rodeo with my girlfriend, she fell off and I managed to fly with her (freefalling) in my wingsuit. I've seen a rider on Scott Campos get off, and then get back on again later. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    I'm reading through the SIM studying for my long overdue D license. I'll admit there's a lot of stuff in here I didn't know. The intro to Category C of the ISP lists "hover control" as a primary objective. This phrase is never mentioned again as far as I can find. WTF is "hover control" exactly? I honestly don't know... fallrate, stability? Whatever it is, I think the wording may be a poor choice. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Hey Tony, I render 16:9 projects for my website and for 16:9 TV's. You're right, the vignetting is more visible on the PC than on TV, because of the TV's overscan. I'd prefer not to have any vignetting at all. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Yeh, I agree on the lens price point too... I'll be taking the filter off. On my old helmet I had the SLR lens get in frame sometimes, but I just finished designing my new setup (custom CCM, pics soon!) and the lenses are pretty well lined up for this specific reason... it is impossible to get any piece of the helmet in either frame now. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Not sure if vignetting is the right term... it's the "black corners." I have Raynox 5050 lens and the vignetting is definitely from the Tiffen filter I stuck on the front. Guess I'll have to do without the filter. They make low-pro ones, but no way to stick a lens cap on and that is more important to me. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Well that's the 2nd thing that my HC90 did better. 1st is "smooth interval recording" which this camera lacks. Recording 1 image per minute to memory stick is not fast enough. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Heck! Even they arent as good as they were! lol Sadder still to watch it die, than never to have known it... www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Nice. SIMILAR

    On my HC90 once I set it on manual focus, it stayed there, forever. On my new HC5 I have found it "reverted" to auto focus like 3 times already. Is there a way to make this "stick?" www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Just curious how people feel about this. I realized I'd been using it all along when I noticed that some vignetting from a new lens was not stationary... it wobbled around the frame and I spent a few minutes trying to figure out how my lens was bending that much before I came to the obvious conclusion. Not sure if I like the idea of the video haveing "stabilization" added to it that for all I know could be counterproductive. I've always thought my video had a bit more movement than it should, maybe the steadyshot is responsible. I'm gonna try some jumps without it and see if it gets better or worse. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Hmm, not sure if he could actually lift off of the road with a wingsuit... but he COULD find somewhere there is no guardrail and use all his forward speed to sail right off the cliff. New BASE exit technique. Be careful with the time traveling. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    Looks like he can't even stay in his lane. Kinda cool, until he gets squashed. Cars would scare me more than anything else. It's scary how much the above reply looks like something a whuffo would say about skydivers. How does he stop? www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    True, but the more background coverage you get, the less "missile coverage" (detail) you get. On any other jump I'd agree and want to include a large chunk of landscape. But with a rocket in frame I'd want to see as much detail on that (and its smoke) as possible, and I'd want to appear as close as possible. Different strokes...
  19. The111
    Yup, that's a good point too, there's almost no reason to use a wide angle on this shot. Unless you anticipate the rocket being very high off the ground when you shoot, and you want the entire trail in frame. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    I'll agree PC's can be problematic, and I know how to handle those problems. But to get a PC with Windows pre-installed, and add Vegas, capture some video and edit it... there's no fancy tricks involved there. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    I have no experience with this type of photo, but I'd think it would be like any other photo, especially photos with a sunflare or lots of clouds. In general, and especially in these situations, I find it's better to be slightly underexposed than over. And I think the Rebel XT (which many skydivers use) has a tendency to slightly overexpose in the auto and priority modes. I usually just fix this in post, but there is a limit, if you lose too much to the white end of the spectrum, you can't get it back. You could always use exposure bracketing, even though it won't function as intended since the shots will differ by fractions of a second. But you'll still get multiple shots at various exposure levels, and for a once in a lifetime jump that is probably a good extra insurance to have. Shooting in RAW will also allow you to recover more lost information (though I don't usually do this). www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    What is it about his music that you dislike? All you've done is call him fat and young. Attack the art, not the artist. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
  24. The111
    I don't think you've been paying very close attention... guys have been writing songs about heartbreak for as long as music has existed. www.WingsuitPhotos.com

    I'd rather see tight creative 20-ways, than big blot 40-ways. The best part of a multi-plane load is looking up and seeing two planes dumping people. www.WingsuitPhotos.com
