Un Paio d'Ali - A Pair of Wings

Since my first skydive I realized that having the ability to see things from above is a privilege. Taking pictures of what I do is for me a way to make who looks at the photos participant of the deep beauty of things seen from this perspective. All this gives an added value to each shot, full of emotion and awareness of the uniqueness of every moment caught by the lens. I took some photographs... <img alt="Gopr1547-1431809925" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/199054/GOPR1547-1431809925.JPG"> This is a jump of my AFF course, the one that allowed me to jump alone. The sky was not particularly clear, but after the looping off the plane (the famous Pilatus PC-6), it did not matter, was one of the most beautiful jumps I've done so far. <img alt="Gopr1638-1431809845" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/199052/GOPR1638-1431809845.JPG"> The parachute opens without problems: the pilot chute (top) pulls the bridle through the pod (the "pouch" containing the canopy) which contains the "parachute" main. Here is the video of the launch: <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FLRjUuWVgzrQ%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&wmode=opaque&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DLRjUuWVgzrQ&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FLRjUuWVgzrQ%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe> This was the next jump ... <img alt="3-1431810707" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/199058/3-1431810707.jpg"> The sun sets, a few clouds, you see still well below: you can not resist the temptation to leave the aircraft to hear the noise -ermh, the music- of the air that winds and slips on you in a surreal landscape... <img alt="8-1431810722" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/199059/8-1431810722.jpg"> It is said that only skydivers know why birds sing ... <img alt="9-1431810779" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/199060/9-1431810779.jpg"> Here the full video: <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F4NpMPytlTmc%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&wmode=opaque&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D4NpMPytlTmc&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F4NpMPytlTmc%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe> <img alt="Track1-1431810798" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/199061/TRACK1-1431810798.jpg"> Once finished the AFF course?

Allocation of funds

The money collected will support the costs of my skydives in order to take pictures that will be included in the photo book that will be realised both on paper and digital version. More specifically, in fact, a single jump has the cost of € 72, which includes: equipment rental, cost aviation fuel, facilities and personnel involved. This is repeated for more launches in order to have the chance to take more pictures and capture the greatest number of events. The photographic equipment adds a cost of 300 €. The photographs shown in the links were taken over a period of about 70 launches. For more details and any questions I am always available, I will reply as soon as possible every message. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FHYg0qgqk_XI%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&wmode=opaque&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DHYg0qgqk_XI&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FHYg0qgqk_XI%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe>
