photography->waterfalls
Hiking the Continental Divide Trail on the east side of Glacier National Park, we followed Virginia Creek, passed St. Mary Falls, and climbed the lower feet of Little Chief Mountain, turning around at Virginia Falls. The water there drops down through a rock chute about 6 feet across, pouring down to a pool approximately 30 feet below. To get this photo I extended my tripod all the way, folding the legs in, pre-focussed my shot and set my timer at 10 seconds, then released the shutter and held the camera out over the drop, keeping it as steady as possible and hoping my confidence in my Bogen-Manfrotto gear was well-placed. It might look bizarre at first but, when you realize what it is and what it took to get it, some appreciation might set in. 6.02-9

Whoa, sounds and looks like risky business, Nik, but you lived to tell the tale and present us with this fabulous shot...please tell me this is going in the current contest as it makes for a superb entry...and if so, best of luck.

It does play with the eyes Nik. I think all views looking straight down have an effect on our psyche as does this one, at least to me it does:):) I'm glad you didn't fall into the water. What a great shot:) Dang though, now I have more competition in the contest!!:):) .....look out, appreciation setting in!!!

Sorry, Pat, and no worries, Bruce, but I'm no longer anyone's competition in these contests. It's only coincidence that this one might have qualified for the current theme.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Glad that I can view this splendid scene on my screen instead of viewing in in real.
I have no fear of heights, but I doubt it would stay that way if I had to take part in this adventure, 'Nik'.
After reading your narrative this feeling still hasn't diminished however, ☺ .

Wow that is some perspective, and I would have been dizzy trying this shot! It would make one heck of a contest entry if you should change your mind, but I get it Nik. tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
This perspective is fantastic Nik. It was more than well worth all the trouble. A perfect "looking Down " image and a winner in the contest if you enter it.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Well, four of you have mentioned hoping I enter this one in the current contest but, y'know, I have heard that so many times in the past, sometimes every single commenter has done so in glowing terms, but when it comes down to the actual voting, the ones touted as sure winner in my gallery don't even place. Truth be told, other than "postcard pretty", I really don't know what the membership wants. So that's why I don't bother entering.

Do not correct a Fool, or he will hate you. Correct a Wise man and he will appreciate you.
Feels like falling into the depths of the earth Nik.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
