I can't believe we actually got these shots. A couple of days ago @lucajaenichen and I had the idea to try an take a Foto of some one flying in front of the eclipse, with minimal planning and hoping for the best, we set out to try and get it. I guess we got lucky.
Big thx to the pilots @valle.rainer @flogassner @valentin.prem by @valentin.prem

A photo can be about so much more than just capturing the moment. In the case of this one so many things, planing, thinking, considering, sweat went into a glimpse of a moment. Weather, location, wind, thermics, view, angle, equipment, communication. Everything had to align and in the end there was a lot of doubt as well. Can we make the athlete fly exactly where we need him to be? There was an especially critical moment when we lost sight of the glider the moment he came within the radius of the sun. I had my eclipse glasses half way on, halfway off. One eye tried to spot im in the sky, the other was focused on the sun, one hand on the camera, the other on the radio. The last 10 seconds where just blind guessing. But after all and with a lot of luck we were able to capture them perfectly. The feeling of making the almost impossible possible and sharing the joy of the perfect moment with such a good team makes for a memorable photograph. What a day! #suneclipse #paragliding #natgeoyourshot by @valentin.prem

Warm days are coming to an end. Been such a fun season of flying, with sick adventures and so many good memories with the crew.

A little throwback to one of those days :) Huge thanks to everyone involved, especially @lucajaenichen and @marcus.westphal for the amazing shots!

Grateful I get to experience all of this. Now ready for some snow, freeriding and speedriding 🤝 by @valentin.prem

Another dream line in 🇫🇷

From watching this line online to finally flying it myself. Following the water down from the glacier felt unreal. So happy to have experienced this one and grateful for everyone who was part of it.🤘
