An absolutely astounding event – click here and here for links to more info . What follows are my attempts to capture what is really not possible to imagine – even if you’re right there seeing it.
This is the setting – who knows how many thousands of people – I was in the parking lot of Anthony’s Pier 4 with my longest lens – 70-300mm. Most of the shots are not cropped – I’m trying to convey a feel for how vast the whole thing was.
These incredibly fit guys walk out to the end of a platform on the top of the ICA and proceed to hurl themselves into space.
There’s a moment when they seem to just float in the air
The exposures where quite difficult – into the sun – then the shadows of building – just did the best I could. Also couldn’t get any of the entries into the water as my vision was blocked.
This is probably my favorite sequence.
This guy was a real floater!
The crowds started to thin out and I was able to move to get a different angle.
I’m so glad I went!
