Mark Watson takes on the Red Bull Glorious Days Project

Does anyone happen to know what is the great music at the beginning of the film? Thanks in advance.

I don't care too much about the equipment....
¡¡¡¡ The flight was great !!!!
Can you comment something about?. Was it turbulent? strong winds? Good lift?

könte echt so schön sein wenn mich einer vor dem allein sein rettet!

To the photographer, just wondering how you are triggering the camera between still and video mode on the D300s?

Is this done using a custom rig? Or something available to everyone? Also, how are you starting/stopping the videos remotely?

Just a bit curiousity from a current D300s owner :)

Near the end of the video he explains this.

who will be the first paraglider, surfing the Morning glory! Great stuff guys!

Photographers Final Comment

Creative imagery is also about unique concepts and idea's and seeing those idea's realized. It is about the process involved, the relationships with your subject and the undertaking involved in capturing the images.

The device used to capture such imagery is all part of this process. Creating a concept, designing a system, getting to right place at the right time and achieving results is what makes the results so worthwhile.

Pressing the button is the easy bit!

awesome work man and that looks like a great lens.,,,,, re 3.07 correct framing - the stays for the glider are not lined up the same on either side of the frame. Was this how you wanted to frame the shot or was it a mistake due to view finder being hard to look through?. Is there a HD monitor made by nikon that will work with those cams?.. epic video, awesome clouds.

Just a quicky re: the framing.. this was actually caused by the glider struts placing pressure on the camera mount forcing it to twist slightly... unfortunately this can happen during loops and flat-spins when the stresses on the glider are greater. We overcame this with minor camera-mount manipulation however to achieve the desired results the contact of struts and camara body is unavoidable.

i thought it must have been a bugger to mount that cam on the glider,, the stresses it must go through, what sort of g's does he pull whilst doing those moves?
And again that is amazing bit of work man,, is there a monitor option/ HD video out etc on that model cam.
