It wasn't a real good weather day yesterday at the bridge walk, overcast with very flat light and strong contrast against the sky.



Jumpers appearing from the belly of the Hercules.

Flying down in smokes - quite an advertisement here

Does anyone know what is that little tiny parachute hanging from the main one does? Is it some sort of stabiliser?

love number 3, very 'arty' feel to it.. smoke and background tones make a great combo.

i know in drag racing, the small part on the main chute is the 'pilot chute' which helps it come out of the pack. probably similar deal here :)

cheers.

Number 3 is definatley my pick, the vignetting effect looks great. Great shadows and contrast in it too.

Pehpsi has it Yi-P. It is the little shute that pulls out the main one.
Nice to see the army using modern shutes at last. Nice effort BTW Yi-P.
