I found 20 gage works better then stones, never killed three birds with a stone before, but I did get 3 in one 20 gage blast. Oh and can you line the banks ot the moat with landmines. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

My company get's 120.00 an hour for video production and still images would depend on the use and how many images as well as copyrights. So a little more info on the stills would be needed. As Phil said, it is tough to do both as a solo camera operator. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Ya might want to check the classifieds on here where the gear is listed for sale and a note stating that it's from a DZ that never got off the ground, so I would say that means no DZ for you! http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/detail_page.cgi?ID=62325;d=1 you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Having trained a number of Private clients/students at that dropzone and having delt with not only the mangement and most the fulltime staff who have been there a number of years now, I find your claim a tad hard to beleive that you signed up for AFF progression and were handed a SIMS and an A licence proficiency card and told to fill it out without hands on training from staff. I do beleive that you might mistake the fast paced tempo of such a large dz as not getting "a structured program with guidance" or "very little instructor time. I can tell you from first hand experiance over a number of years that the staff on the dz do care about safety and teaching students how to skydive with guidance and hands on instruction. Your right people come from all over the USA and the world to teach and to learn how to skydive. This is one of the most accommodating large dropzones anywhere in the USA to visiting instructors who bring their student there to jump. I have spent a huge amount of time watching how this dz works with their students while there training my own students, ths staff bent over backwards to make sure we had any and all needs met, from classrooms and training tools to equipment all free of charge and they were quick to stop all jump Op's in high winds or even broken overcast skies, quick to ground those who did not follow the rules of the swoop pond or traffic patterns, regardless of who they were/are. If you really feel that your being left short changed or not getting the instruction you need or are paying for, I would advise you to make your concerns known to TK Hayes in a polite manner, I have always found him to have an open door policy and a willingness to talk and hear concerns of those on the dz. In order for you to have the best chance to not be in a fast pace when speaking with him, you might want to make an appointment during the week to meet with TK, he is a very busy person as is his staff, due to volume alone not because they aren't getting paid to help you. It just so happends that you choose to learn at one of the worlds largest dz's and the winter time Oct. to May is the busy season there and even the weekdays are a mad house at best. Sometimes jumping through a cloud will happen, sometimes jumping above an overcast will happen, but 90% of the times I have been to skydive city the planes stayed parked during low solid overcast skies. Sometime the shit moves in on you though, it's still your choice to jump or not. If you take the time to speak with TK and still feel that your not getting the personal attention you need or are paying for there are always smaller dz's with in driving distance that might be more suited to your style of learning. Go speak with TK and good luck in your learning where ever you jump, it's should be never ending as long as your skydiving. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

You've got to be kidding. Please feel free to name the DZ in question, so that others can avoid a joke of a student program. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

NexGenSkydiver The bold part says a lot about your "bullcrap" attitude, the advice you seek is covered in great detail within these threads on this photography and video fourm, had you taken the time to... 1. Read the sticky on the top of the page 2. learned to use the search function 3. Asked a few of the locals, first before posting 4. Read any of posts on the first page 5. Signed up for one of the classes offerd as implied by a few poster & the moderator of this fourm, DSE. Don't come to Christmas dinner and start throwing turds on the table if you expect to have the well virsed provide you with the info you seek to learn that we know or your going to get nothing but bull crap! I might add that you buy Norm Kent's DVD on camera flying that was produced by DSE's company and you might also look into print media books on camera flying till you learn to how to be nice to those you seek answers from. Have a good day! you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Orange, pink, yellow, red Same as above, add green. Same as #1 add white all of the above but green With that said, as you know they all can blend in and be hard to see from above in different times of the day and year. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

If everyone else was playing russian roulette with a full clip, you would play too? Most likey no. But hard to say without being there to look out the door. Depends on the dzo. Chances are slim you would. In the USA it is. Do a search on the B-25 load and Lake Erie in the early 70's and you will see that the choice to jump above solid layers cost a whole load of jumpers their lifes. However the two who stayed in the AC lived to play again. I bet you didn;t see any of those who were in front of you. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

Just placed my order.

I see, sorry to hear that, yes time to move on to better. Sometime's you just get one that sucks, rare for canon, but it happends. Good luck in the future. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

That can be because of the lens your using, not always though. what lens are you using when you get that code? (seen it with a card too) I have no EXP with the Sigma 28-70 or the tamron, I have not flown the kit 18-55, but know many who have, it seems to do just fine but is not friendly to abuse, so don;t drop it. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo

My stuff could be one word @ the top that is clickable to open the features contained with in and not run off the page. I would think about becoming a premier member if that would mean we could do away with all the stupid google ad's. I'm sure some fine tuning is in store as time gose by. you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo
