tree climbing comp.

[paulnj]

I shot the state finals of the tree climbing comp. a few weeks ago, and man was that hard to shoot. The lighting was horrible and contrasty most of the day and my shooting angles were not very pleasing either. I guess you have to take what you can get

First image... a guy doing the airial rescue of a 170 lb dummy that is unconcious in a tree. You need to talk to him, get the rescue squad called, climb up and lower him down as if he was seriously hurt wihout injuring him further. He is strapping "joey" to himself via a safety strap and then will lower both himself and "joey" down on seperate ropes as smoothly as possible.

BTW..He took 8th in the airial rescue part of the comp and overall comp..... not too shabby considering the top 5 guys are the incrowd
