Description An other one ... digged from Archives

First in the World !!

Jump ...( with parachute of course ....)
from an Helicopter on the world famous "Mont Blanc "
( 4807 m high)

Again, taken with an Nikon F3 camera,
strapped to the Skis of the helicopter.
16 mm f:3.5 , focus taped on 1 meter
(so, I was sharp from 2 feet to infinity, at f:8)
1/500 th of a sec on Ektachrome Film

Again, it is my friend DOM ... famous Skydiver, and Jean Pascal (we can see him behind with a movie cam on his helmet) his friend, who did that World Record ...
It was fun , like always ...

By the way, it is not me, that you see with a Yellow Jacket
(it is an other photographer).
I was in a second helicopter, with a tele lens,
and this camera was radio controled.

ENJOY ....
