MOXIE P.S.

... as i've often said, although they're reticent to admit it, photographers love wandering about with other photographers because it means they get their pictures taken ... while we were up at the falls john took the time to find a few images of me ...

... disregarding for the moment the subject, i like this photograph because it looks so natural ... technical truth revealed, this was a ten-second exposure during which i had to remain absolutely motionless ... fascinating ...

... i thought john had wandered off up the trail to explore some different vantages, but it turns out he hid behind a tree or something so that he could do some stealth photography ... here i am, climbing atop the wooden rail in order to get a better perspective for the image i was trying to capture ...

... john must have left figuring i'd reached the limit of my craziness ... once i'd finished with this spot i climbed down the drop off to the right and took some pictures from the jagged rocks that form the edge of the cataract ...

... with absolutely no apology for the HDR technique, here's the image i found while perched on top of the railing ...
... what great fun ... thanks, john ...
