nice shot, awful haloing around sky diver. wouldn't necessarily consider this photojournalism, but all the same, this probably could get published somewhere.

good catch but little play with postprocessing (curves) would make this image even better, the clipped highlights on the chute and too dark on the glider :-)
nhf !

I know where THIS was taken! AZ Flugtag! I tried to get pictures of each chutist that came in but they were too fast for me. My best one I tracked right in front of a pole! LOL! Bet you are kicking my butt, too. Damn you! :)
