Well someone asked for climbing shots, so here's one of my better ones I nabbed on the last climb of 2004, as icicles were forming on some of the routes nearby. Let me know what you think! :D

    Coldclimb,

    It's pretty contrasty (is that even a word?) or bright, especially the rocks in the upper left and his helmet. Plus, I didn't even notice the guy down below until I had been looking at it for a few seconds. Which I found to be the central point of the pic. IMO, it would have been soooo kewl if you could have gotten a little more separation between the onlooker and the climber, but working at the heights you were, I'm amazed you even got a shot off....lol.

    Maybe a tighter crop so that the person at the bottom is a bit more obvious and the climber is diagonally filling the frame, might help some too.


    Thanks for sharing,
    Steve

    Hmm... I did get a ton of pics that day. How's this in comparison?

    Coldclimb,
    Yeah, this one really illustrates how far off the ground the climber really is thumb.gifthumb.gif I'd maybe crop a bit off the right side and I think you'll wind up with a very frameable image clap.gifclap.gif


    Niceeeeeeeeeee

    Its kind of funny, see I like this one better than the 2nd one, because it messes with my head. Which sometimes if fun.
    Reminds me of an MC escher painting.

    i think they are both great and i would like to see more. how were you secured when you shot these? were you strapped in at all?

    A long and complicated series of runners (short lengths of webbing sewn in loops) clipped together and to my harness to extend me down from the anchor enough to peek over the lip. The rigging involved in climbing photography is at least half the fun! :D
