This picture is amazing and I have no idea how you took it! You'll have to explain everything, because as you will remember -- I am pretty certain skydiving is something i will NEVER do -- too scary! I really love how the sky looks so marbled, and the composition & colors are great.

I'm literally upside down, and I'm falling at about 140 mph. My Canon Xs is on my head and it has a 15mm fisheye on the end of it and I'm snapping shots with a tongue switch that is plugged into it. Hai-ya.

(those are my feet, and my hands, and I'm checking my altimeter as I'm watching the tandem open up)

Tongue switch?! I hadn't imagined a thing existed, but that makes perfect sense! Can you share more about that equipment, how you learned about it, etc? Also, how did you acquire your fisheye -- I'm a newbie to buying lenses and need some tips. Thanks! ....... also.... are you in Hawaii now?
