A little early summer fun. This bridge is about a mile from my house, and I pass it several times a day. Ten days ago was the first time I had a chance to shoot the jumpers, without the police being around to chase them away. Gear: Sony a900 and Minolta 35/2. The photos are cropped out of necessity. Anything longer than 35 would have prevented me from following the jumpers from when they jumped until when they landed. Question: is there software out there that would have let me stitch (merge) all of the photos into one so I would be able to see the jump sequence from the initial jump to the landing in one frame, sort of like on a GoPro? In the second photo the kid jumped over the railing and then into the water. I want that in one photo if possible.

Unfortunately, I was limited in where I could stand while taking the photos because of where the security fence is, and because I was not about to get into the water without a waterproof housing on my camera. I think I can stand in a different area but I would need a 24mm to get what I need.

Hi Mikal, if you have Photoshop I suspect you could get what you are after by simply making a layer and erasing all that is unnecessary on the top layer around the jumper, then move the jumper around so he aligns with the original background (zoom in and turn the layer on and off to check alignment)...Best to choose lets say RailJump3 (as the background) and RailJump7 (as the top layer) as they both have some separation within the jump itself, otherwise it could get a bit messy if the jumper is overlapping himself (to many arms and legs if you get my drift) that's only if you decide to use several layers I suspect...Once you are happy with the alignment flatten the image off and save afresh...Hope that helps...Cheers Barry

A few shots from last night's water polo practice. Shot with the a900 and Minolta 35/2. Cropped just a bit. Colors pretty much out of the box though I did cool the photos down a notch.

Interesting shots Mikal, I played water polo there since 1998, before the pool was renovated :)

Another great set of captures on this page, all. Keep up the good work! Hopefully one of these days I'll have a bit more time to contribute a few of my own!

The transmitter weighs less than it looks like it would. Much less than a flash.

There seems to be no ETA for the Odin II. I gave up looking for it to appear and moved on.

On the way back from Lalinde we saw this little roadside chapel. Although it has seen better days the character is still there in spades
