Windsocks are useful for soft landings |

I get it |

Look! Skydivers! I've never actually seen jumps in person |

Floating down on a full canopy |

The instructor landed first by spinning around and losing altitude |

He made a perfect landing. Made it look easy |

Time to collect the parachute |

Heading back to the main building |

I thought it was funny that since the camera was mounted to a helmet, they had to hold the whole helmet to take any pictures |

A tandem jumper comes in for a landing |

Turning around |

Aaaand land on your butt! |

Red Canopy Guy has gathered his chute |

Time for the next load to go up! |

Checking a tandem jumper's harness |

Everyone get on board! |

The tandem jumper and his instructor have collected their various lines |

Takeoff! |

The jump is underway! |

You can see the drogue chute slowing and stabilizing the tandem jumpers |

Chute deployment! |

Let's see those canopies |

Flying around |

The tandem guys have a colorful canopy |

Losing altitude by turning rapidly |

Almost there |

Turning into the wind |

Final approach |

Perfect landing! |

I can't wait to try this myself |

My favorite photo of the shoot |

The parachute doesn't even look that big |

Below the tree line! |

Green Canopy comes in for a landing |

The tandem guys have been floating around for a while |

Collecting his canopy |

Final turn |

Legs up! |

Touchdown! |

That tandem chute is really huge |

Meeting the jumpers in the field |

Jumpers in freefall! |

For these last few, I switched to the 50mm. The difference in quality is obvious |

Lining up with the wind |

They make it look so easy |

A walk in the park, even |

Running out to meet the jumpers after another successful landing |

It isn't exactly a large operation |

It looks like the jumper is actively kneeing this poor guy in the face |

I took a peek at the repacking room |

They seemed surprised I was interested |

Double check! |

Ready for another jump |
