[India] Day 4 – Paragliding
So what’s the fastest way down a mountain?
We had to do a U-turn and head back towards Manali because of the road closure at the Rohtang Pass. Very very annoying, but you know what? If we didn’t do the detour, we would have never gone paragliding!
While we were driving back down the mountain, coming up the road was a truck full of parasailers shouting at us to give it a go! We stopped, deliberated, interrogated and scrutinised the equipment.
At the end, it was peer-pressure-domino that got us all geared up and running down the mountain. Making that decision was so liberating. I was feeling excited and scared at the same time, and that high I got from saying “Let’s just do it” was invigorating. Partly because of the experience, but also for taking that risk and living life.
Absolutely amazing! It was a good amount of time in the air and the views were spectacular. Here’s the video of the flight!
Lovely Pictures and Videos Angela.
May I know what application/software did you use to make the videos?
Also, what brand is your DSLR camera as the photos are really vibrant and detailed. And how did you manage to compile all the photos into one picture.
@Rebecca
Hi Rebecca. I use imovie to edit the videos. For cameras i have two. One is a Canon DSLR 500D and another more compact one is the Canon IXUS 300HS.
And for the photos I use picasa collage function.
Thank you for sharing them Angela. Really appreciate the work you had put in your blog with these videos and photos. Gives us readers a sense of what else is out there besides the lame touristy pictures that others put up.
keep up the fantabulous work
amazing! i have always wanted to paraglide and was about to do so in Bali earlier this year… but the weather wasn’t ideal so I didn’t get the chance. But gosh, it looks awesome to be able to FLY IN THE SKY!
love ur blog entries, babe!
Hi Angela, I asked on your formspring which camera did you use to take pictures while up paragliding but there was no reply. Did you use the same two cameras? Those are quite costly and you dare bring them high up??
