Re: Paragliding

least they have a portable loo attached as well

Nice set Stan like my Kite surfers it does seem a shame to cut the kite off, but if you didn't you wouldn't see the detail

I hope you don't mind me saying but they do seem a little flat?

unless you are going for an environment shot there is no point in trying to include the kite, the same with kite surfers, in both cases you would lose too much detail in the person.

the outfits being very dark, i had to go very easy on the contrast to keep some detail. There was a third one around wearing much lighter clothing but i only got a back view of him

I could see how that would be an issue and you would loose detail in the faces - still fine shots

Cheers Tigger

Here is one that includes the kite, which i took as i thought someone would ask - the guy is now much too small in the frame

These things look so impressive when you see them but it never transfers onto photos - but you caught this one well
