Awesome skies for shooting but also very challenging. This guy was able to soar for 2.5 hours.

Nice! I like how you captured the sun rays. Is this out by Surprise?

Nice. I like it & if I were younger would have loved to give it a try.

No I don't think that they are Jay. They said conditions are not normally as good as they were that day the wind was blowing straight in at the launch area at 17mph. For one of the guys it was his first flight off South Mountain in 28 years, so it was cool that I was able to capture it for him.

I am in touch with them and will post a heads up on AzAP if I know days they will be up there.

This is probably a dumb question but what is AzAP? I wouldn't mind trying my hand at this type of photo.
