Paragliding

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hi guys,

It's been a very long time since i've posted. I'm starting to get back into photography and thought i'd reintroduce myself with an image. This was taken with a p&S camera (i'm not sure if thats against the rules) but I thought it was a nicely composed image anyway. Its hard to hold a DSLR camera while paragliding but i'm working on it =)

Anyway would love to hear what you think

Regards

I would imagine that photographing whilst paragliding would be pretty hard, great shot here I like the silhouette against the sky

Not any that I know of. We've even had P&S win POTW before now. I'm not sure if iCam has managed that yet, but it is the photograph(er) not the camera that matters. This is a great one.
For the DSLR, why not mount it to the frame (Duct tape!) & use a remote to trigger it.

Except you have to call them PHD (Press Here Dummy) on this forum

top stuff, sometimes to get a shot you need to use the most effective tool and in some cases the P&S is that tool. Kudos for taking a cam whilst bobbing around below a bit of satin and string :up:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
