Magnificent, breath-taking with unfailing skill and courage!
First set was ok but I much prefer the none HDR 'ish' set.
Gosh durn! That makes me envious. I wish I was young enough to join that group.

Amazing Brent...you should have told a little white lie and said you jumped with them and took the shots!
With respect I think Brent has more ethical character than that.

Brent please pass along to your friend what great well done photos these are.
Like others I will never take skydiving photos. I have been afraid of heights all my life. While others are thrilled with the ride down, the view from above and the joy of freedom, I would have my eyes closed and be scared to death. More power to them.

So sorry.......my bad.........I looked over all of the categories and could not find one that fit. I know we are not supposed to post photos from other people. I have a skydiving friend that in my opinion is an excellent photographer. He gave me permission to post his photos since he is not an UHH member. I normally would not break the rules but since his photos are so amazing, I just had to do it. How many skydiving friends do you have anyways?!?!? I hope my fellow UHH member friends and admin all can forgive me just this once because of the exceptional subject matter and photography of my friend Randy Forbes. I hope you all will appreciate this visual treat the way I have. Please download each one of these.

Great photos! I especially like the imagery of the fourth photo!
When are you going to try skydiving?
I knew a helicopter pilot who had been in the Army's Golden Knights parachute team, he once was instructing his co-pilot on how to exit a helicopter that was failing, he told the co-pilot that he must remain calm, take hold of the flight controls and carefully watch how he jumped out of the helicopter.

WOW! You're forgiven. I can't believe this would be breaking the rules. You aren't selling someone elses work and you identified the photographer. These are great!
Thanks to Randy Forbes for sharing them.
Next time, create an account for him and post his photos on his account.
Fantastic images. Don't see how you are breaking the rules. You identified the photographer and he gave you permission to post them. But if you feel the need to be forgiven, I forgive you.

Ahhh - - I was wondering how the original photographer would be able to shoot 3 (or more) sequential images for HDR
Without getting significant motion artifact.
I AM an HDR aficionado, but think I like the originals best :)
Thanks for posting - - your friend took some remarkable photos. Please pass on our admiration :)
Foregiveness cant possibly be an issue when you share such spectacular images. Thanks for sharing.
Great images but I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

Oh wow!!...those really are spectacular shots. I can surely see why you wanted to post them here on the forum. I absolutely appreciate your sharing those images with us.
Very cool shots ,,,scary but cool
