I was excited to wingsuit in Alaska but was so bummed that we had traveled all this way from Florida and the beautiful mountains were hidden under a layer of clouds. We made the accent and exited the airplane with our wingsuits from 14,000 feet and it was not until after we opened our parachutes and get below the broken cloud layer that I got to see the snow capped mountains of Alaska! This was a pretty technical shot because of all the training that is involved to skydive and wingsuit but also that my Nikon is mounted on my head and I operate a mouth switch with my tongue to act as the shutter release. I had to fly my canopy in just the right place to align up the shot I wanted before the other jumper was out of sight. I also have to have my settings locked off before I jump as my arms are busy flying the wingsuit or operating my canopy.
