To See and Die!, a photo from Mugla, Aegean

Photographer's Note

Perhaps I went too far on the image title, but anyway...

It's not a common experience for me to fly with a parachute, and here it is multiplied by the view you see!

This was a breath-taking 40 minute Paragliding flight from the height of 2'000 metres over the Blue Lagoon in Oludeniz, Turkey.

I would appreciate hearing your comments and critiques.

Postcard quality for this one. A valuable add for a tourist brochure. Colours are amzing and so is the DOF. Very good considering this was taken from a moving object.

What can I say to such a view. ... still thinking ... If someday I try out Paragliding, then this place looks just fantstic to do that. You did a great job. I like it very much.

Vitaly
Great picture!!
I have recently returned from Turkey, and seeing your photos of Olu Deniz inspired me to take a paragliding trip to experience the views - and I was not disappointed!! Thank you.
See my galleries for pictures taken whilst paragliding if you are interested.

Hi Vitaly,
What a great shot! Are you parachuting or paragliding? No matter what, it really makes me want to get up there, too. Oh yeah, good photo as well, especially since it's probably not the easiest job to take pictures up there.
Cheers!
