Skydivers join in a 102-person formation during the parachute jumping festival, Euro Big Way Camp 2010, over the airfield Kruszyn in Wloclawek, Poland, on Aug. 12. The pariticipants succeeded in setting a new European record for skydiving formation, beating last year's record of 99 skydivers. The festival runs from Aug. 9-13 and is attended by over 250 parachute jumpers from various countries.

Ok, I've never been a fan of jumping out of a perfectly good airplaine for fun.
But I like this photo for it's super-wide angle perspective, color, and um depth of field. It sure looks like a long way down. From the looks of this, I think I see many of them are using iPhones to document the process-arms up at elbows and in, like the skydivers are using video camera's at a pleasant family gathering-or maybe it's a sort of air brake, as I've heard of people clonking each other pretty hard attempting these things.
For the record, one of the wildest dates I ever went on was with a Skydiving Gal.
No, this wasn't shot by another skydiver you idiot. This was shot from a frog jumping out of a pond with a camera attached to his back.. They were 25 feet from the pond when he snapped this picture. You people that know nothing about skydiving never cease to amaze me with your stupid questions & comments about something you know nothing about. If you want to get informed before you speak, next time try contacting U.S.P.A. I was a skydiving instructor for 20 years, as well as a freefall photographer/videographer. This guy was laying on his back, under the formation, with (in all probability a 28mm lens). We also "float " above the formation to get pics as well. That's just what "God Frogs" do.
