I bumped into some people jumping off Stanage Edge on a lovely December day.

Borrowed my daughters K50 and DAL 18-55 to take a couple of shots.

Wow, I love them! Just your typical kit lens kind of shots ... Not at all, they are great. Beautiful colours and plenty of depth, I'm struck by how you've managed to catch light on the underside of the paragliders. What a great location, plus the action as well ... Superb.

Thanks Nigel, the light/location was great for these type of shots on the day. The low sun helped with the light under the paragliders plus a little pp in lightroom.

I didn't have my camera as my daughters had theirs (K50 and KS1) so I thought I'd best not take mine as I had to help out. The K50 was free for a couple of minutes so I snapped away. Lovely cameras both the K50 and KS1 (turned the lights off on this).

Nice set George, weather hasn't been that kind to us when we have been up there this week!

Good action shots, full of colour and god light. Considering the terrible weather we've had recently you were very fortunate on this day.

I think this was the one morning of sunshine since Christmas and it feels like its been non stop rain since.

These are excellent George, 4 and 5 in particular. It looks like a good copy of that lens, they're nice and sharp.
