This is kind of a 3rd person approach to the challenge subject but it’s a good representation of what it is like taking photos from a precarious position! I think it would have been even more spectacular if you had used a tighter aperture and got the details in the canyon. It would have helped with the overexposure also. I recognize that in this case the primary subject was the photographer but more focus on view is still my personal preference.
You’ve got some fine drama here, James. I like the detail and drama in the distant mountains as it adds well to scene. Having the distance a bit (but not a lot) soft works well because it focuses on the photog and his position, but tells the viewer why he’s out there. I do think that a small crop to remove the sky at the very top would be good.
I’m surprised he didn’t set up a tripod there! I’d also crop out the small piece of green tree in LLC.Very interesting shot, and he’s definitely on the edge.
Thanks Mike.
Thanks Mark – One of those surprise shots that’s fun to share.
Good ideas Gary. If I had been thinking strategically I would have shot this a lot of different ways, like maybe F16 for the drama as you said. And I should have put on my 14MM and joined him on the rock!
