Great job Bernd!
Could you give some detail as to your technique/equipment? DO you still use 400D and Sigma 8mm? I am really interested in how you shot out of the plane like that. My assumption is a monopod that you rotated and fired remotely.
Either way, this is a great shot capturing something most of us may never see. I really don't think any other kind of photography could capture the moment quite like this.
By the way, how does a girl look so pretty hanging off a plane with those glasses and helmet on?
Cheers,
Morten

Great pano! Did you jump too? That would be interesting trying to shoot one in freefall.

Thank you guys for the kind words.
@ Morten:
Now here you can see me with my used equipment:
tinyurl.com/3tgmq9
Canon 400D / Sigma 8mmF3,5 / homemade bracket / Manfrotto 682b monopod
/ cable release / crepe tape
Normal I shoot also some 360°panos with 17mm but for this location is 8mm the best way I think.
@ Philip:
no, this time I not jump.
A vr-pano in a freefall that's what the
skydiver guys also said to my is the real kick ....
...hmm, may be next time 
Best Bernd
PS: ... and yes she's pretty nice !!!

Bernd:
Please give us some more specifics! Did you just estimate the rotational increments? six shots around? Does your bracket allow rotation up and down for zenith / nadir shots?
Great work!

Hi Tim,
it’s a lot easier for me to make only four Pictures, cause I can locate these better manually.
They are all 90° ( always a right angle) and if I have to act fast it’s easier to handle than 5 pictures (72°) or 6 pictures (all 60°).
To make this photo I renounced of the Nadir and Zenithphotos cause I had to handly quickly.
I turned the camera up (ca 5°). Due to this there are only little Information missing.
In principle I could use my nodalpointadapter to shoot a exact zenithpicture , but in that situation I think it was not possible 
... for infomation, here's my bracket:

All the best Bernd
