Good to hear from you Bruce.
Nice story.
Under these circumstances I wonder how/why Paul was credited with the Photo?
It raises the further point about royalty payment. Did Paul receive a payment
from the SMH for the use of "his" photo?
What do you lawyers out there say?
Re the photo being a "set up", I suggest that most are .... and in the majority
of cases this is perfectly OK, and indeed a prerequisite.
However to balance this, I suggest that any reader of this forum check out the
generally considered 10 (... 20 ...30?) greatest photos of all time. Inevitably
there was a camera there at that particular instance in time, and "The Art of
the Photographer" did not enter into the equation at all. Almost inevitably, it
was a case of "point and shoot", hope for the best, and see what has been
captured.
Like most subscribers to this forum (through no fault of my own, but as a
consequence of living in these times), I have been subjected to a constant
stream of images over my life. The longer you are alive, the more images you
are subjected to. Let me say that in perhaps over 99.0% of cases the images
(from an artistic viewpoint), that I have seen, are pure shit. Of course there
are a few fine images out there in a different category, that are not intended
to be "artistic". They were taken to illustrate a point. Funnily enough though,
some of these images can be defined as genuinely artistic and classic indeed!
This is of course where all the great sporting (including gliding), images fit.
Cheers,
Gary

Actually the photo was taken by myself, from the back seat of Bernard's ASH,
out of Bunyan at a wave camp. It would have been 8 or 9 years ago at a guess.
The photo was unfortunately not portrait, so it didn't make it onto the cover
of the magazine despite being submitted. It was published in black and white
inside the mag, but not a full page. I don't know what resolution it was - it
was Peitschy's (as in ZZ, the subject) camera. It was long enough ago that it
may have been a film camera......I do remember that most of the shots caught
the frame of the clear vision panel.
The photo was a set up - there wasn't a 10 knot thermal there!
Good to see the photo being used. I never had aspirations to be a famous
photographer anyway.

Some good publicity here! Interesting to get this first timer's
impressions. Obviously straight from the heart, and un-edited by any glider
pilot.
Paul, if you are online, nice photo of ZZ.
Cheers,
Gary
