Classic. Did you use a Tri-X film emulation?

Wow, love it... Doesn't give the impression of motion but the suspense provided by the stopped motion is really compelling.

Thanks Dave... actually, I was going for the Kodak BW 400 feel. But, your guess is really close.

Thanks man. The theme said "photos of landscapes, wildlife, travel, sports, or movement that captures a special moment in time or peak action." I figured mine fell in that last "peak action" category... I hope.

dcstep · 03-06-2012, 08:12 AM

I think that you captured "the peak" of the action.

I use DxO's Filmpack 3.0 for my B&W conversions. I love having 30 or so classic films available. You really captured the feel and vibe of that old film here.

Chewy734 · 03-06-2012, 08:14 AM

Thanks Dave. I use Nik's Silver Efex Pro 2 for my B&W adjustments... love that program.

Fredds112 · 03-06-2012, 11:35 PM

That guy made it, right???

Chewy734 · 03-07-2012, 06:58 AM

hehe, yeah. He was a professional cliff diver in Mazatlan, Mexico.

The1 · 03-07-2012, 08:02 AM

How does one become a professional at jumping off cliffs?

Not that I want that as a career...

Chewy734 · 03-07-2012, 08:05 AM

good question... I feel like it's kinda like skydiving... how do you simulate that environment to train? I feel like it's one of those things where you just get up on the ledge, grow some giant cajones, and jump off... to practice.

The1 · 03-07-2012, 08:21 AM

That settles it, I'm putting that on my resume... I've jumped off cliffs before

MaximusJ · 03-07-2012, 09:00 AM

But the real question is: Do you have the cojones?

We'll see if I end up near any cliffs this summer, but I doubt I'll be jumping from as high anymore. The last time I did it I was 15

That was half my life ago....

I'm also a bit nervous around heights, so I was surprised I did it in the first place

Surprised and proud
