Ah Oh, this guy didn't get it quite right:

#4

Hang-gliding (or para-sailing, micro-lighting etc.) is such a buzz... Hope the guy in #3 and #4 was OK...

I want to have a go at it someday.

The guy was fine, no damage.
Went into a big area of bushy shrubs.

Nice colours Nick,

I got some photos of a bunch of them a few weeks back, they always looks nice against the blue sky.

I've done it when I was younger, I probably looked like that guy in #3 and #4.

You can try out a tandem flight initially, could be fun, just let us know either way, I'll take my camera

cheers,

André

Oh boy...

I guess he is better of stuffing it in on launch than when trying to land the thing.

Cheers

But his underpants will never be the same...

Thos first two work superbly against that deep blue sky. It's a toss up for me, but I think #1 is just smidge better because of the contrasting red & blue.

I rather join the Sydney traffic phenomenon every day. Much more exciting/dangerous

Cheers
Steffen.

I like the red / blue contrast in #1, but unfortunately the red at the peak of the wing is blown

There was a guy paragliding, but he took off just as I was copying my CF card to PSD. Would have been some great shots

Steffen, sydney traffic is easy - Brisbane traffic: they'd rather run you off the road than let you in at a merge

I really like the first two, for me the first works a little better due to the colours, but both the inflight shots for me are stronger then the later ones.
