bigbob is our chosen photographer for this Tuesday's Digital Photography Now Picture of the Day. Wing walkers like the one pictured amaze me. I'm sure it's a thrill, but I don't see how you can do it if you have even an ounce of ability to feel fear! This shot is nicely composed, too. Bob took this at Lydd, in Kent, but back in 2007, as he explains: "This was taken during possibly the last ever Lydd airshow in 2007 due to health and safety rules governing crowds. The event has become too expensive to run, a great pity." Bob adds: "Again due to work commitments I haven't been able to attend any airshows this year at all, so I'm getting severe withdrawal symptoms!"
