On the ground

Some studies of a Cobra Paraviper who just landed.
I had just finished shooting the snipers when my son Paulo started egging me to take picture of his Paraviper (he got it for Christmas). So we looked for an open spot in the park, someplace ideal for a DZ. It would’ve been better if I had a parachute and paracords for the paraviper, but well, we have to make do with what we have. So in this scene, the paraviper is assumed to have already shucked off his para gear and is getting ready to move out. I like how it turned out. I love the paraviper’s details: the balaclava, the MP5, the wrist altimeter, the oxygen tubes. Hhmm…I’m thinking of army-building this unit!

Nice shots.
I need a better camera to pull this kind of shots.
I will even need a better camera to take photos of Paravipers landing at night.
Build an army already while it is still in retail stores!

Believe it or not, I just use a modest point-and-shoot. It’s a Canon though, and I swear by that brand’s excellent lenses.
