A beautiful post.
True action shot.
Great timing that made the loop of the rope.

Hi Alexander.

Nice moment this!

These kind of pictures are always difficult but, except a little overexposition, I like it.

Well done!

Rgs, Oscar

Hi Aleks, great image. i like the perfect exposue that you used per capture the guy jumpin' down.
i did it that crazy thing many years ago, just one time in my life, from a bridge close to the Gorges du Verdon in the southern France...never more!
i had the heart close to the brain and all the rest of the stuffs in the mouth...totally a half minute of pure terror...
thanks, ciao

A stunning capture and wonderfully composed. Great colours too, with that lovely blue as a backdrop. TFS

Hi Alexander

A good decisive moment. I like the 's' shape of the unfolding cord. Well done!

Perfect timing. The shot looks more dynamic with the curving unstretch cord than it would have with the cord straight.
Good work.

A well composed picture. I like how the crane - platform - rope and idiot forms a zig-zagging diagonal through the picture.

Hi Alex

Very nice catch in action for this guy. Well I hate heights so I'm not quite sure if I want to do this jump into the future. Maybe not.

Wow! Perfect moment for the capture of the dive! The lines of the cord make a very interesting composition. The feeling of the fall is very real here (actually, I feel sick looking at this: I wouldn't want to be at this guy's place! Not for a fortune!).

Hi Alexander, I'm back from a business trip to the U.S. The vertical format is ideal on this one and the timing is excellent, almost perfect (I'm thinking "almost" because a fraction of a second later the guy would be diving towards the lower right corner which would also make for a good crop with less "empty blue" at the right). The minimalistic content and the graphical aspect of the bungee platform make for an appealing and lively photo. Well captured.

Hi Alex,
Excellent compo. I like the way the jumper is plunging towards the lower right corner of the frame. The crane that supports the platform he's just jumped from is in the opposite corner, thus creating a pleasant balance for the eye. A wonderful blue sky you had too!
have a nice week-end.

Hi Alexander

Surely not a spot for me - taking photos what I want's :-)
You got that jumper the very best moment - going down for the first time - thanks for giving us the historical background as well.

Regards
Jeppe

Hi Alexander
Brilliant capture given that it's so difficult with the movement. The shape of the rope is so original and it stands out so well against the deep blue sky.
Maybe I could just add to your note that the first commercial bungy jumping site was opened in Queenstown, New Zealand in 1988.
You didn't say if you jumped ;-)
Regards
Nikki

hello Alex
more than giving us a great action picture, you've built it pretty well, with the traditional photo rules.

congrats

Hi Alexander. I must say your timing in this one is perfectly done. I love the feeling of flying but I am not that stupid to try this out. Nice loop in the stretch rope. I am not sure what they call it. Huge rubber band? I better google it!

I missed this one. You managed to capture a really "decisive moment" making also a nice composition, which is unusual. Very nice !
