Maybe Canon shooters are more hardcore shooters than the rest after all

Beautiful photo - CraveOnline.com

At least, it looks like a C on that strap

Anything to get the shot, eh?

Judging from everything it is Canon.

If not for the horrible JPEG artifacts it's a very nice photo but for most part a stupid behavior, not hardcore. If she couldn't get the shot while on her stomach, she could at least put her legs horizontally for better balance.

to me it looks like stunt for the photo, that's all....

DogLover · 08-22-2010, 09:39 AM

Yep, gotta be a stunt. Her legs should be hooked on the back-side of the wall.

The fact that her legs are crossed at the feet and the toes pointed, says that is is a model posing for a shot, and the photog had a spare camera to use as a prop.

Not too much in this world gives me "shaky legs", but heights always do. I can work under houses in tiny tight spaces for hours with no effect, but never get near the windows of tall buildings. So....even this shot bothers me!

HAHA! I saw someone doing the same thing off the wharf downtown.
Shooting Canon is becoming very demanding it seems

. . . who'd try to focus and read the VF data "up-side-down"? That'd be like trying to shoot in The Land of Oz, wouldn't it?

What can she accomplish at that angle that she couldn't accomplish with the 180 degree rotation in PhotoShop other than doing a back flip followed by a swan dive? What this shows is that maybe Canon shooters aren't all that smart and lack common sense.

r0ckstarr · 08-22-2010, 11:46 AM

....and what would have happened had she have picked her legs up too fast with some momentum, and only her hand pretending to grab the rock under her?

Jasvox · 08-22-2010, 01:31 PM

Perhaps she isnt as high up as one would tend to imagine by the angle of the photograph taken. Anyway, it's a pointless photo really...what does it say after all?

I'm cool with heights, but what gets me is being near high edges without railings. I don't have any problems with windows in buildings or even high balconies with a railing.

Take away the railing, and I can't get near an edge even on a low height.

One thing that really freaked me out was this:

3.2cm thick, and I could barely stand on it. According to the sign next to it, it could support as much weight as the foot thick concrete surrounding it, still freaked me out.

Wow, that's nervewracking. Reminds me of that scene in the 2nd Jurassic Park movie, where the trailer's hanging over the edge of the cliff
