Blue Sky was founded by Peter Degerfeldt and Göran Widenby back in 1984 under strange circumstances.
Two geeks under one parachute!
That was how we started in this business, by pure passion for the ultimate picture impossible.
Since then we worked all over the globe with various projects, from
the top of the world on Mount Everest to Antarctica.
In free fall with 300 skydivers, in 9G with the Air Force, under the water, BASE jumping from cliffs, etc.
Everything to get get the Impossible Picture.

From 2006 I am running the business myself.
Göran is out sailing on the seven seas.

In those early crazy days everything was about Skydiving.
We lived and worked with or passion.
We basically jumped off anything that was able to get airborne.
Soon we also learned how to use Mother Nature as a playground when BASE jumping was invented.
More customers realized that they could use our services.
Production companies, the Air Force, the Army, aerobatic flying, hot air ballooning, skiing, sailing, climbing among many action-sports.

1987 was a major breakthrough.
Never in my wildest dreams could I dreamed about to climb on Mount Everest!
Sagarmatha/Chomolungma or "Mother Godess of Earth" as she is called by our Sherpa brothers, turned out to be a good but strong character and teacher.
In total, I spent 7 months on her slopes. Giving me the whole spectrum of life, good and bad, mostly good though.

Just arriving to the foot of Mount Everest North face in Tibet, I got the news that we won the Nikon Photo Contest!
Good start of the Expedition I thought, but we never made it to the summit that year, only 200 metres was missing.
We learned our lesson and was back 1991 on the notorius Japanese Super Coloir to Hornbein and straight up to the summit.

Still only made by 7 people over the history.

Lars Cronlund was on the summit on the 20th of May.
Tragedy was close when Lars was lost on the way down, he had to bivouac without any gear and supplemental oxygen at 8 600 metres.
Much to our relief he made it down to safety the next day, what a heck of guy!

After spending 3 months on the mountain and more than 25 days above North Col, I decide to have some fun. I flew back home with my parachute from 7000 metres, much to our Sherpa brothers delight.
Not only did I have a fantastic ride ( I should not tell you about the start) but also I guess no one ever had that view of Mt Everest?
I landed safely at 6 500 metres just in time for lunch.

Except on the Everest projects, Göran and I worked together since the start of the company back in September 1984.
And what a start we had.
After sailing with good friends in the Caribien we found our selves in the midst of of what to be a "cult-film" among skiers.
"Apocalypse Snow" was filmed in Les Arcs were we had homed in.
We acted as the bad guys, cutting away and free falled with skis from a hang glider. Of course we had 16mm cameras on our heads.

After that things just kept on rolling..........
Feature films, commercials, IMAX projects, Stereoscopic 3D and other work started to take us around the globe.

Struggling under high G forces during the opening we started to realize that it might work?
It did, here we were at 2000 metres and only one Parachute!
Impossible sad people, but when you are dedicated to take the impossible pictures you are willing to push the limits.


After a less beautiful climbing act, Göran was standing on Peter\'s shoulder much to the protests of the tiny canopy we used.
Here we go, Göran said swooping towards the earth leaving the nice sound of a clicking Nikon camera.
Blue Sky was founded and big smiles looking at our first shot.

Peter Degerfeldt takes off at Everest North Col, 7000 metres.
After a 7 minute ride he landed safely in ABC perfect for lunch.
