Sea Cliff Meet - My take

[Jenno]

You are probably all "sea cliffed" out by this stage but here's my take on the day's activities.
Thanks once again to Peter for arranging this. Nice to catch up with a few familiar faces and some new ones as well

Think that's sevencolours crossong the bridge


Point of no return!! ..Yee Hah



Two for the price of one - $189 for a tandem

oh, I like that final image, that is something i was striving for, an image that shows the scenery but alo captures teh essence of what goes on there - nutters hanging onto aluminium and fabric...You have also nailed that small amount of blue sky that was present ! well done.

Lookign at your flickr set, _DSC7492 stands out for me, the framing of the shot with the foliage really works..

Good to meet you on the day also Ray.

Edit*

$189 for a tandem

bloody bargin...imagine the public liability insurance cost they have...

I'm with Gerry, that last image works really well...now to add a few more hang gliders into the image!

Really like the last. It's the one image that captures the essence as well as have layers of interest.

In the second photo it looks like the guy has four legs! It took me a while to realise it's a tandem! Nevertheless, this is one of my favourite glider shots from the day.

If you look closely at #3, it looks really uncomfortable.

Thanks for looking and your comments

Yeah ...like that one as well

Your sunrise shots make me wish I'd followed the track to the other side

Would have liked to have had the gliders a little closer in the last or, as Aim54X suggested, more of them... but its a bit of pot luck getting all the components in sync.

From memory its a single guy. His legs are a blurred due to the movement.

Have to agree with you there. That gig doesnt appeal to me at all

Nos 2 & 4 are the stand-outs for me. In #2 you've caught something unusual ....his pose almost looks like that of a classical vintage tin toy. There's just something about it that appeals to me. The last shot has all the essential elements...subject in an environment...all beautifully composed and captured. nice!

The last one is lovely and iconic of the day and the location. Much nice.
