Matt launching towards the east by Eagles Nest

I had the opportunity to shoot a few photos of Matt and Jose when they were enjoying a few speedflying sessions with the Swing Spitfire 11 from Eagles Nest (which is located at the end of the norwegian Lysefjorden).

I will be looking to get some more photos of this fantastic flying machine in 2012, from the ground and in flight as well – so let me know if you are flying somewhere in Europe.

I finally got to fly myself this summer in Switzerland, you can check the video out here: Let the new Spitfire Speedfly adventure begin – finally got some air

I added a small sample from Trentemøllers ‘Snowflake’ – get the full song here:itunes.apple.com/dk/album/the-last-resort/id198723009

Spent quite a lot of time in this place in 2011. I tried to capture part of the unique settings that Lysebotn in Norway has to offer.

Every evening a load of base jumpers go up to jump either Smellveggen exit 1, 2, 3 or exit zero. Some days I didn’t want to join them so I stayed at the camp ground with my camera to capture some of the scenery.

Base jumping at Kjerag is unique – if you want to go there to watch or jump yourself take a look at their website www.basekjerag.com

Oh..which reminds me, I have added some similar impressions in this video – looong video he he – check it out if you like the above photos.

It’s August and my second trip to Norway this year. I’m experimenting with my Canon 450 on some of the jumps and getting some good results already. There still a lot to learn and improve but I think I have got the basics covered on how to test the light conditions right after exit – at least for the exiting, freefall and canopy flight action off the Kjerag exit points.

Here’s some examples from July and August
