So who took the picture?
I’ve always wondered if it was possible to take a picture of a group of skydivers without one of them giving the “thumbs” up sign. While I suppose we may never know for sure, I am leaning towards “no”.
After playing around in Pangea VR for the iPhone, I’ve noticed that a lot of panorama shots end up with the creepy severed foot or hand of the photographer at the bottom. That is why I find this Skydiving QTVR sent in by faithful Macenstein reader Bernd so impressive. (Well, that and it’s an amazing shot).

I suppose odds are the clouds below may have helped the photographer Photoshop away any traces of his existence, but still, great shot. Click here to see an insanely giant version.
MCotM Christmas spectacular!
I don’t know how he did it but I’m pretty sure I can see him hiding behind the left hand side of the door. Supper-duper aspherical panoramic lens maybe?
On a serious note that is the coolest watermark/cameo I have ever seen.
Thanks Doc.
I got sick scrolling around that panorama…
It looks like the hands holding the camera are photoshopped in. The lighting and shadows are wrong. Perhaps they were holding the boom?
