Wow! I wanna! I wanna!

I wonder: how many cameras could they take up at once, in a ring
facing outward? How much would they have to charge photogs to have
their cameras taken up, in order to break even each flight? How much
to turn a decent profit?

Need a very expensive, large helium balloon to do those kind of tricks.
P.S., the Earth's helium supply is running out! At least from the sources
they have now.

Here's a shot of mine at 30,000 ft:http://edgehill.net/human-world/3-Aerial/pg1pc0

That is nice, easy to see the curvature of the Earth.

From the caption below the pic.....

"30,000 feet cruising altitude at the edge of outer space. Actually I
used a fisheye lens to get the curved earth effect."

NICE photo!

Paul, what was your flash setting??

:-)

And the ones in the OP's link used a fisheye.
