Rüdiger Nehmzow means “Man With Big Balls Made of Steel” in German. After watching this video of him taking photos of clouds from the open door of a plane, 6km up in the sky, it can’t mean anything else.
Rüdiger straps himself into a plane, opens the door at 6000m and, equipped with his camera, an oxygen mask and jacket to protect him against the sub-zero temperatures, hunts perfect photos of clouds. Looks like fun to me and the photos look even better. [Nehmzow via PetaPixel]

What is brave about opening a plane’s door when you are strapped in complete with oxygen mask etc.
I’m not an overly brave person, but I would love to do that! What a fantastic view he has, and so easy, he’s just sitting there. It’s not like he’s climbed a mountain or anything. It’s not like he’s jumping out of the plane.
I don’t think it’s particularly brave, but it is very, very cool.
WTF
