I guess these 3 solo jumpers were flying high and sky high in confidence! Not for them the safety of a tandem jump that my daughter was experiencing at the same time. Used this one as I managed to get 3 in shot as they jumped from a small plane. I liked their body positions in the air too


Actually prefer another I`ve found so in with this one instead. Now looking again I think I`ll stick with the first one and a new title !  The last one seems so dark on here and I cannot modify it and upload another as I have submitted my maximum 3 per day to the site. never realised that limit was in place until now! 


Soar Like a Bird

Nicely in line Paul. My dear daddy, an RAF pilot, told me never to jump out of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane Advice I have rigidly followed. In the 90s a friend died in a tandem jump, and I need no further persuading.

In the meantime, I took a shot of home sweet home from a little way up the other day:



Had to be done!

Nice one of the Red arrows Simple. Reminds me of one of my proudest moments when I shot the Red arrows coming over the runners on the Tyne Bridge covering the Great North Run for a sports company doing runner shots. Had to go up in a massive cherry picker which swayed in the wind as I perched atop praying I`d be ready when they came swooping in as I only had time for a quick burst of shots. To my relief it went well. Unfortunately re-printed as it was throughout the nationals I saw neither extra cash nor credits as I was on the companies time. Great experience though and did a less enigmatic shot for a South Shields event over the town centre. Great fun but you`d never get me in a cherry picker again.
