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?

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.
