Vs: Sudden encounter The comment "well seen" is extremely appropriate here. The most rigid hook to the earth, connecting something to that is guaranteed to stay put. Alongside with the guy flying like a bird, as free from the connection to ground as can be. Also positioning the hook there right in the middle is a very good choice in my opinion. The "moment it clicked" was perfect with a bit of air still separating him from the ground. Thanks for sharing, and keep sharing please, nice to see good photos here! =)
Vs: Sudden encounter Great pic. I love the way the paratrooper is keeping his (her?) legs up. 'Oi, I'm about to crash! Sharp bolts ahead!'
Vs: Sudden encounter I don't want to spoil the illusion, but to me it looks like the pilot is flying away from the bolts and the wall. Likely his ass is well above the ground. (I am familiar with the topography of this site.) Anyway, I like the composition of the picture. Just my interpretation differs.
Vs: Sudden encounter I know the site very well indeed and I know that he's far away. But he still looks wary of hitting hirself!
