This one doesn't really need any comment, does it?
I took this recently over the beach where I was taking the panoramic photos.
I heard the engine and looked up and there this guy was, flying north above the beach, about 200ft/61m above the surf.
It's one of those rare times I wished I could be doing what that guy was doing.
I had the camera on a tripod, shooting the panorama at 1/80 of a second. When I looked up and saw him, I snatched the camera off the tripod (hooray for quick release gizmos) and took three shots.
The slow shutter speed was fine on the tripod, but the pilot's a tad blurry in these photos.

I haven't seen a hang glider with this type of moter behind him. Glad you captured the event.

That looks like fun. Great capture.
Do you like live cams? Elephants at Pete's Pond in Africa right now. I even found a hummingbird live cam. Just go to my personal blog and click on the link I posted
Nice capture John. I would like to try that at least once before I get too old! I think I would prefer the more normal style of ultralight or a hang glider though.
John,
Yeah, that does look fun.
I have a "quick release" thing on my tripod as well. It's simple yet such a great feature!
for me is too radical, great photos.
It looks like fun, but I could never do it!
Shots from that guys perspective would be rather interesting too.
