Very dramatic! The perspective that you have created gives one the feeling that you were following in another glider. +Guy

Thanks Guy. The mountain shot was from the summit of Bowfell in the English Lake District - another photo from this day here.. http://www.vlec.u-net.com/lakes/lakes04.html The glider was taken from a cliff edge on the Pennines when the valley below was filled with fog so I got a clear background which made it easy to isolate, but I had to re-draw the wire rigging by hand.

I think this is a very dramatic shot! But I was very disapointed to find out that it was a digital montage! Expert technique with Photoshop, it looks very believable, which I feel makes it very misleading. It also discredits other photographers who are resourceful enough to get shots like this (this shot is totally doable with straight photography). I do have to acknowledge that it was labeled as a digital montage and not just done on the sly, which I do believe is out and out wrong.

Thanks for your comments Robert and sorry you were disappointed! I certainly didn't set out to mislead or discredit anyone - that's why I made sure it was labeled as a digital montage. The image wasn't planned - the two images were taken several years apart and one day when I was re-visiting my old slides it occured to me that putting these two together might turn two very mediocre shots into something more interesting. I would dipute that the shot is 'totally doable' with straight photography though - I don't know much about hang gliding but I suspect they don't often jump off a 3000 foot mountain top into thick cloud without being able to see where to land!

Vincent. . . EXCELLENT ! ! ! By combining these 2 pictures you are taking the next step. Manipulating photographs is something that will be argued for a long time, but it's an Art Form thats here to stay. Good Luck,
