  1. Liz, Go for the Canon EF 28mm F2.8, I used that one in combination with a Kenko .5 on my videocamera and the two lined up perfectly. The 24mm version is quite a bit more expensive. When you switch to digital, you'll want a wider lens though. The 28 (or 24) that you bought will still work, but it won't be wide enough for the distance you are flying with the tandem. When I went to digital, I switched to the Sigma EX 15mm F2.8 (with the 1.6 crop factor that works out to be about a 24mm) Let me know if you have any more questions. Iwan
  2. I know!! i didnt have a chance to fill out the form, but I did give him close to 40 mins of footage to work with.. he better make a vid! Online order form somewhere?
  3. My favorite memory of this trip was seeing one of my bestest friends enjoy the skies again without being afraid.. Just her smile after landing at the prairie a couple of times made this trip worth it's while! Of course.. the rest of the trip was bad ass too.. Gia.. post more pictures!!!
  4. Figure out what kind of exposure you need, but the highest flash recycle rate on the 550EX in combination with the Digital Rebel is at a shutterspeed of 200 (the max sync speed for the Digital Rebel) What I usually set the flash to is overexpose the shot by 1 stop (the +1 setting), manual focus at 24mm (I shoot with the Sigma 15mm) My last balloon jump where I took stills was exactly that: On the camera: Tv at a shutterspeed of 200 ISO 100 On the flash: manual zoom at 24mm Overexpose by 1 stop (+1 setting) Let me know if you have any questions...
  5. Some people have to work now that they're back from the prairie.. otherwise, I'd be all over the pub..
  6. Liz, Try to find a Canon EF 28mm F2.8 that's the one I used on my 35mm camera.
  7. LANY!!!!!!!! It finally happened huh? Congratulations.. Now I can finally return the favor and take pictures of you after you've taken so many of me Can't wait to jump with you! Iwan
  8. Liz, Check eBay, I sold mine with the lens for about 150 bucks I think. The standard lens will work (I think it's 28-85 or something) but I used the fixed 28mm on mine when I used it. Iwan
  9. Find a Rebel 2000 somewhere, and you will not be disappointed
  10. Ok.. The prairie is over for me now too.. time to focus on the byron boogie.. Too many sleeps..

  13. Congrats on the new job Remi!! That means you're in perfect distance from Byron for the byron boogie!! Flights to and from Phoenix are cheap...
  14. So far we have a King Air and a Twin Otter, and they are working on some more stuff. It's a pretty good possibility that there's going to be a helicopter too as a "specialty" Details will be posted on www.byron-boogie.com as they develop! Right now that website only has a teaser on there, it will get updated right after I come back from Lost Prairie, most of the details will be worked out by then! Iwan
