I took this one today, my first attempt at something like this.

Camera info: Nikon D750/ Nikon VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 G lens.--focal length 260, focus mode AF-C, Aperture f/7.1, shutter speed 1/2500s, Aperture Priority, Metering-spot, ISO 200, WB cloudy.

Heading home tomorrow, it sure has been a great 3 day vacation.

Thank you for your comments.

Nice clarity on an action shot and the clouds add a hint of drama to the picture.

I was hoping to see a selfie of you parachuting, Sandi. This came out great. I would have given him/her a tad more forward open space in the frame. Safe travels home!

Sandi, didn't you have fear of vertigo? lol.
Initially I had doubts whether this ones was taken at the ground or in the air. The FL of 260 gave me the solution.
Anyhow a perfect action shot, the more that such subjects aren't easy to achieve a good capture. Well done,my friend.

Excellent shot on this, Sandi. Cropping the Right border almost to the end of that streamer , will appear to increase the potential distance.
