Nice one Tim, the composition w/ the parachute at the top makes for a nice fill-frame, and creates a cool way to focus the eyes from the top down to the bottom,

Cheers,
Chris

Great shot, Tim, but kind of early in the day for you to be posting isn't it?? hahaha... Nice composition here with the chute being partly cropped as it is. Even the cloud tends to direct ones eye into the picture. I hope you got a chance to get your feet off the ground there? Cheers, Gary

It certainly fills the sky and the frame... well done...good color also. Tried this myself in Turkey last summer.....if one gets the chance everyone should give it a go...cheers

Excellent capture!!


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 4/8/2006
Tim, this wonderful shot reminds me of my one-time paraplane hobby. (Mine had an engine, though, which some people call cheating.) I don't suppose I'll ever do it again, but it gave me some thrilling moments... I wish I had been taking photographs then; I would have had some quite amazing panoramas!


Dave Stacey   {K:138303} 4/8/2006
I like your composition, Tim, and the way you've caught the others in the distance, as well.
Dave.


Tim  Schumm   {K:28854} 4/8/2006
Hi Abid,
Thanks for the comment.....and yes the other one...was not so good...ha-ha.


Tim  Schumm   {K:28854} 4/8/2006
Hi Gary,
I was off at a meditaion retreat for 2 weeks and am back on my feet now so to speak....but still traveling around sleeping in the van....vagabond...
I am now looking for a place to live in Victoria. but will likely still be bopping around the country plenty this summer. Maybe I'll drop by and say hi again.
Nope, I kept my feet on the ground...but who knows it looks like fun!


Tim  Schumm   {K:28854} 4/8/2006
Would love to give it a try for sure..maybe if i hang around a lot.....lol


Tim  Schumm   {K:28854} 4/8/2006
I used to Hang Glide myself till i had a bang up and concidered myself lucky and proceeded to other dangous instead...ha-ha...and I'm still here on earth!


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 4/8/2006
That's a bit like my own experience, Tim. When I found how friable the rocks were on most Japanese mountains, that put an end of my rock climbing. Then my paraplane engine seized up, and somehow I never replaced it. But photos like this one, and the occasional mountaintop panoramas, can set the old longings going again... Long may we both continue to enjoy this wonderful world we live in.


Tim  Schumm   {K:28854} 4/8/2006
Hey i didn't know where a rock jock too. I taught mountaineering in Banff as well as lived in Yosmite doing one wall after the other. Some day i will get a scanner and post some very scary and exposed climbing shots....freaks me out to look at them now...haha


Roger Williams   {K:84106} 4/8/2006
Hardly qualified as a rock jock, but enjoyed going along with experts, never in the lead. Ended up suspended in space at the end of a rope over a deadly drop just once, when I got stuck and clung there helpfless till I fell off. You really appreciate your friends after an experience like that! But now I can hardly walk along the edge of a platform without feeling dizzy (a side effect of my hearing problems). So I'm well out of that. And yeah, it is scary to think I used to do that for FUN!


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59855} 4/8/2006
Superb capture Tim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Beavin   {K:4477} 4/10/2006
I like the colourful way you have framed this shot Tim, are you going to take the hobby up?


Bruce Harper   {K:5305} 4/10/2006
Love the composition and colours Tim - and you've got those clouds to bend to your will again! Love that you've managed to get another flier in the frame too, really gives a good idea of the heights involved.


Debarshi Duttagupta   {K:26689} 4/10/2006
Super shot Tim.


Jose Ignacio (Nacho) Garcia Barcia   {K:94480} 5/26/2006
outstanding. marvelous tones. wonderful.


Marcio Janousek   {K:32265} 7/29/2006
