A Very Pleasant July Day at Hvittingfoss, Norway (SW of Oslo)
1 year ago
PLEASE, I implore you, do not content yourself with just clicking on the large "thumbnail" on this web page to only watch the Flash version, but to rather download the "original" file, the one which I have uploaded (which actually has a lower frame rate and bit rate than the original by my Xacti HD1000).
I fly mainly for the view, and consequently I shoot video in HD, with the intention to record as much of the view as possible. I chose to upload to Vimeo and not to Youtube, because Vimeo offers this very option of watching a higher video quality movie with Quick Time Player instead of a just a Flash player on a web browser page. Please use it, play the movie on something larger than your PC's monitor, and you'll be able to share with me the splendid scenery and flight over Hvittingfoss on that hot, high pressure, low wind day, July 23rd, 2008, with clean air, high visibility, and 23° water temperature.
I intend to describe the site and it's conditions later (i.e.below, in the "comments part").

Højdebegrensningen vid Hvittingfoss ligger på ca. 1050m, det visste jag ju, men jmedan jag steg, provade jag att titta på FL-indikeringen på min Flytec 5020, och då blandade jag av misstag in maxhöjden vid Lilla Edet, som är lägre än den vid Hvittingfoss. Jag kom lyckligtvis på mitt misstag innan det var för sent ;-)
Snutten då jag skrapar efter start längs branten utanför starten och nedanför starthöjd är i själva verket från dagen därpå, då det blev en repris på skrapandet. Av första dagens blev det ingen videodokumentation.
