Wing walking
I've been doing quite a bit of air to air photography recently as I have been commissioned as the photographer for a book. I rather thought that this was silly enough to post as the guy on top of the wing was a friend who was 'press-ganged' into doing this for the shoot. The only real photoshop connection is adjusting levels etc and using Lab space to tweak colours and sharpen.  |

Wow, How much did you have to pay them to get that job? |

Re: Wing walking
Hi Vibeke, I was a semi-professional air to air photographer for 25 years and they came to me, I'm happy to say. When I wasn't telling pilots where to point their aircraft I travelled all over the place doing this sort of thing. It's what took me to New Zealand 3 times. Terrific fun! |

I'm just jealous. When are you coming back to NZ? |

Amazing shot Gordon. You wouldnt get me inside that aeroplane, let alone standing on top of it while in mid flight 
Steve, I think youve left yourself wide open for this one |

Re: Wing walking
I think your photo is fantastic. I went to an air display a few weeks ago and the best shot of wing walking i could get was this one : - 
My Kodak P850 just wasn't good enough to get as close as you have managed. |
