Now I forgot about these photos and only just realized I took them the same day and last weeks. Anyway I had taken my 400mm zoom with me to our caravan and noticed they were out paragliding again, this time I felt a bit more prepared for the event
They were taking off the hillside about a mile or so away
There were quite a few in the air
This guy looks like he is flying in a boat
This one reminds me of a shoe
He was turning to begin landing in the nearby camping field
Getting lower making his decent
at times he seemed to rise
then turn again for the final approach
I waited around for a few more like this one to come and land but they seem to fly off in another direction or landed later. I will have to see if I can get some more photos on a better day. This one was grey.
Happy Skywatch
Looks like fun but not for me. :)
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteFlying boats and shoes, how unusual! Beautiful photos. Glad you had your 400mm with you!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't do it but I'm sure it's fun. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the zoom lens. I find it hard to follow things in the air.
ReplyDeleteFun.
ReplyDeleteYikes, some may find this fun.
