YOUR Paragliding Photos!
It has been said that flying for pleasure is a sensation sport. Paragliding photos capture part of that, the visual side to flying. A good photo will even remind you of the other sensations, such as wind on your face, partial G forces and the hiss of airflow. If you browse around this site a bit, you'll see plenty such paragliding pictures! So why have I started this page? Well, a couple of keen pilots have already offered me some great images. Completely out of the blue, so to speak - I didn't ask for them! I thought that it would be a great idea to let people add images right here and now. Sort of like a visual paragliding forum! You can leave comments on other people's contributions too. A tip: Raw digital images straight from your camera can be uploaded successfully. However, this can take many minutes over a slow Internet connection. Resizing the image to around 100Kb or so will still result in a high-quality image on a computer screen. If you haven't done this before, try using Irfanview, a freeware program. It does an excellent job, sharpening the image after the resize. Another tip: For maximum impact on my site, select a photo that is taller than it is wide. This way, when my site resizes the photo to fit the page, it will appear as large as possible. Oh, it has to be your picture of course! Don't go lifting them from other websites, for example.

Waiting For it to lift
    
Myself and other pilots were on launch on Mt. Woodside British Columbia. We arrived early and the whole valley was socked in. It lifted fairly quickly ...
