Spectacular !
David Doe
WOW! The photo alone is awesome but to think that the guy holding the camera was either falling themselves or at very least dangling from the door of a plane…..Well done!!
Reuben Chircop
Thats a great shot, I am sure that was not an easy shot.

Looks like Lake Taupo in New Zealand… But is Oscar the guy under the camera-helmet or the guy under the tandem-jumper?
Pauline Jones
What a great place to travel; this must be a unique shot.
Oscar Sobrino
I can’t believe i did that!!!!
Sara
this is amazing! you can see the curvature of the earth and everything, brilliant, well done.
Renee
Wow! Very incredible! Nice shot
Eileen
Weird! How would a person get high enough to take a picture of the curveture of the earth and be able to shoot this shot. I am sorry but without explaintion??????????? I don’t get it!!!!!!!!!!! Our earth looks to small? EZ
charles
i agree with eileen , there is something very strange on this picture, the curveture of the earth is not natural… those guys are too close from the ground !
anyway that’s a nice pic but need some technical details
Matt
Nice shot – great composition especially given the conditions!
Eileen, I don’t think that is the curvature of the earth but rather the distortion created by a fisheye type lens.
Josh
Has to be fisheye for that shot, but what an effect it has. Really amazing picture though.
Stine
I tried this tandem-jump, actually over Lake Taupo in New Zealand, where another man jumped next to us with a camera with a fisheye lens on his helmet. It must be the same in this picture.
Tom Brooklyn
Cool use of a fisheye to bend the horizon.
Where on earth was this taken? Please specify.
Eileen
With a fisheye lens the whole picture would look curved?? Oh well! EZ
Rama Raju
Such a daring dive !
Anurag
What a wonderful effect created by the extreme wide angle/fisheye lens. Makes the earth looks like a much smaller sphere than it really is.
Note the settlement below and how it has destroyed the green cover of the earth.

How did you breathe? Wonderful shot though!

I thought this was a picture of a spider dangling from its web when I first glanced at it! I couldn’t believe it was a real person. Too Cool!
Srirama Raja
Really cool. Good picture. I wish I could do this someday.
max
Wow, that’s awesome. Must be a wide angle lens because the earth doesn’t really curve like that. Were you parachuting, hangliding, or what?
Sue Gagnon
Holy WOW!! DITTO on ALL!!! Fantastic view…;)
Pieter -sAner- van der Horst
Great shot! I love the major barrel distortion on this one. Great compo.
yasmin

Su

renee
