Hang Gliding

JeffryZ · 19th March 2008

Maybe not thought of as an infrared subject, but it works pretty well. Shooting with an IR converted P&S camera. I know I just posted some pics a few days ago, but I like these very much and wanted to share. I hope you enjoy them as well.

The Torrey Pines Gilder Port sits atop some cliffs over the Pacific Ocean in San Diego and the afternoon breezes make it a perfect place for hang gliding. This was a beautiful Sunday and the skies were crowded which means I do not have to wait long between shots.

1) The Glider Port- this person could be landing or trying to take off- I don't remember. You can see many more in the background.

2) Hanging Around

Things can sometimes be slow to load so I will spread the pictures over two posts.

3) Flying Dog- even Man's Best Friend was having a good time!

4) Into the Wild Blue Yonder- he looks very high up!

I like the 2) Hanging Around, mainly I am oso in such stuffs... take some main parts and let the viewers guess the rest type of photos...

3 Into the Wild Blue Yonder- he looks very high up! is fantastic, though the title can be slightly shorter...

"2) Flying Dog- even Man's Best Friend was having a good time!" this is funny

but i feel a tighter crop will be better

hehe..i like the doggy one

i dont think there's any restriction on how many photos you can post....so i dont see why not. since this forum is for sharing IR photos

esp since..the weather has been very bad on our side lately..thus you havent seen many of us posting photos. laziness is another issue

Great captures Jeff.

"Into the Wild Blue Yonder" is my pick. Love the colors, good pp. But just a little nit pick, if only the hang glider is a little above or below that small patch of cloud then it would give better contrast of him against the blue yonder.

Pics captured at a good time of the day for IR

Note: There's some mistake in the numbering of your pics.

Opps! Thanks for catching the numbering error. I must have been using my eleven fingers again.
Right Hand: 10. 9, 8, 7, 6, Left Hand: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Try it!
