hey guys
i havent posted in some time...getting busy with uni assignments n such.

in august i went to the top of mount dandenong with my mate who is a member of a hang gliding club and took some photos of the launches for them. i really liked this one and would love to hear your thoughts.



thanks very much

excellent! i like how u masked the sun with the wing, accident or intended?

Mate, this is a fantastic photo. I like everything about it, even the slightly off horizon which adds to the freedom of the hang-glider.

Now that's using the light! Great shot!

Brilliant work Nathan - one to be very proud of. I concur 100% with what Steve says.

Great way to use a light source within the shot.

as per the above comments, and I also love the way the most visible clouds in the photo are behind the 'glider, making it almost look like it's leaving clouds in its wake. The little bit of foreground on the right is just perfect for showing the launch area, then the massive drop-off to the far horizon and below shows the height. Every element works. Great shot!

thanks for the great response guys

it was intended... but very lucky as well. they take off really quick and only enough time to get three, maybe four shots of the launch, especially when they don't announce that they're going to launch...
