Truly amazing! I would love to know how you did it. They are all so crisp, so sharp. Please share how you prepare for these kinds of shoots. I have no coordination at all, I can imagine me trying this and rocketing to the ground with one out of focus crash!

Sorry about the late reply!

Thank you so much for all your nice comments!

The details for the posted picures:
D300 & Nikon 12-24mm F/4G
1/800s - f7.1 ISO 200 Manual exposure & focus
Picture Control
Standard: Sharpening 4, Contrast 0, Brightness 0, Saturation 3, Hue 0
WB Direct Sunlight. NEF Compressed Lossless

PP: Capture NX2

Exsposure -0,17 , Color Control Points on the face and on "wingsuit" to get more details
in shadows. Resized and sharpened for web.

When I did the shot we jumped from a 3000ft cliff in Norway. The wingsuits allow us to fly together for about a minute before opening our parachutes. I was wearing a special helmet with the D300 mounted on top with a homemade toungeswitch cable release in my mouth, taking the pictures with my tounge

Most of the pictures on my website is shot with my old D200. Just upgraded about a month ago.

Like the artifical grass helmet!

Thanks for sharing. I can feel the adventure in your pics.
