Some textures actually have decent looks.. but still, they are just textures, which takes no effort what so ever to apply.. And in most cases it makes the photo look worse. But look around on the net.. There are tons of tutorials on photo retouching.. www.good-tutorials.com has got a photo effect category! again: check www.trondteigen.comfor some of mine! :D

D90 or 5D MII video mode anybody?
Teigen replied to herminiocordido's topic in Photography and Video
5D is above all! Dont own it but i borrowed one from work, the results are fantastic for such a small package. the only con, is the lack of autofocus in video mode. But i guess thats no biggie in skydiving when you crank up the aperture. -
Turning up curves and contrast i guess.. im not into altering the photo in any special way, but i might be biased since im a photographer. If the scenery is nice i would keep retouching to curves and contrast

Saw that earlier today! such a moving photo! The coala was obviously crying out for help! and in stead of acting aggressive or limping off, it let the firefighters approach it! but unfortunately they say thousands of animals may have perished.. As for animal photos. Here is one i shot in January of 08.. Took a while to get, but i did, eventually :) ClicketyClick

Which style of the shirts are closest to a slim fit? i like t-shirts best when they have a snug non-baggy fit..
-
Soo nice shirt, yet so cheap! Compared to the brand t-shirts you get in the stores! Looks like i have to get me a few more of these while i still can! Lets pray someone does something to keep this running!

Americans and their burgers... Oh wait! now i want one!

Its the 500mm F4 IS USM from Canon.. Great for base.. And sports in general! did some nice 3000ft drop ground shots with it.

Thanks for making my choice in altimeter easier! im getting the VISO!

New toys are always fun! Saved 2500$ on this lense in sept 07 by getting it from te US
-
Thanks Wally! more will come! im shooting at extremesports week this summer and all of it will be BASE and skydiving.. Oh, and simon! what about a video collaboration? skeletons worldwide unite!
-
Thanks for giving good answers!! I've also talked to Simon "Bones" because im kinda keen on the skeleton suit. I have no doubt now that Kurupee is the way to go!! :)

Ok guys! i got the message allready!! I check the Classifieds every day.. But still, if anyone finds something better suited for my skill level, let me know..
-
Damn people! Thanks for making me aware of this issue! I find it weird though, that a shop owner who is also an experienced jumper, would sell a rig to a rookie, that has a reserve in it that is considered too small.. They don't even profit from it.. You are all too experienced, i guess i have no choice but to rest my case! And i will look into the possibilities of fitting a bigger reserve in it, or finding a new system all together.. And YES i am excited!

Thanks Doug! good post! I've talked to many people at my DZ, amongst them Europes first woman to hit the 10K jump mark. And their, and my own mentality has been the "better safe than sorry" one.. I CAN get a 150 but for my first rig a 170 is probably just fine for me! its alot more fun than the 220/240 ones i've flown on student rigs.. But when it comes to the reserve, i know its a 143, but it is designed for, and will save my life when i depend on it.. My landings have been light as kisses with the student rigs, and in a case of a reserve ride, i know that a 143 is a fast canopy, but it will get me down safely, thats what its designed for.. I can kill myself with the 170 too, i always did my landings as safe and gentle as possible..
-
You've probably seen this one before.. Porter close Call
-
FYI im 143lbs (65kg) and i could have flown a 150 main, but i chose to go with a 170.. Would a 143 reserve mean i would be instantly fucked if i needed it? that's what it sounds like the way you write.
-
Reserve is a PD-143-R The rig is sold through SkyDesign which is the leading within skydiving gear in Norway, nice experienced owners. I went to the shop to try the rig on and they were very helpful, so i doubt there is anything fishy with this rig
-
Im just about to purchase my own rig, and i came across a used javelin from 99 with a Silhouette 170 in it, also manufactured in 99. both have only 100 jumps and the rig looks almost brand new. There is no cypres in it. The guy wants $2875 for it, is this a reasonable price for a rig that has no cypres? Just asking because i might buy it really soon just to make sure i get it, all tough its been for sale for quite some time. Attached is a photo of the rig!

You could download the legit removal software onto another pc and copy it over i guess.. Personally i use the antivirus program called "Avast" its one of the best out there! and requires very little memory to run!

Just had to post this! Its just one of those videos that always brings a smile to my face! its always so much fun watching tandems after they land, they are all soooo happy! Skydive Cape Cod

GET NAKED!! No seriously, there must be something to do! Im in Norway and we get pretty white winters up here. Jump season ends in october and starts back up in late April.. Its my first year in the sport and i am knocking my head against the wall, sifting through youtube/facebook and skydivingmovies for my daily fix. Im a freelancer so i have a lot of days where i just sit inside and do nothing.. And i could do just about anything for some better weather. But yea, as Jimmy said try to find some sort of activity, whatever it is, it will help!!

Here in Norway we have a small town called "Hell"
