Herb,
I'll tell ya. I was at Mt. Rainier NP last week... I was on a rock/stone
bridge at a waterfall. The shot necessitated that I get up on the side of
the bridge so I could shoot down. So I hoisted the Bogen tripod-mounted
*ist D up on to the side of it and stepped up about 2 1/2 - 3 feet all in
one motion. When I did, I came to a standing position on the wall of the
bridge, but felt my upper body and head go several inches further toward the
precipice than I would have liked. It was 50ft or so down to the rocks and
pool at the bottom. My wife would have screamed her head off if she had
seen it.
It wasn't a good shot after all because of the harsh lighting.

it was a bit sad to be there that day. they were holding a memorial
service for a guy that had fallen in about a week earlier. he apparently
wanted to get a better view and went over the fence and didn't stop. they
hadn't found the body yet. i don't know if they ever did. several dozen
people were just out of the framed picture. i have some shots of the
people there, and some of the flowers and such they were leaving.
Herb....
