601 - Down River

The Tsaina River, about 38 miles North of Valdez, Alaska. To get this perspective I actually layed down parallel to the edge of the cliff and held the camera out at arms length, so it was a one handed shot.

DSC-R1, ISO-160, f8.0, 1/80 sec

:eek: Yikes, this one gives me a bit of vertigo reading your comment on how you obtained the shot and now looking at the image here. Very impressive POV, Gary. An excellent exposure that provides nice detail in both the highlights and the shadows.The river path provides us with a nice view to follow into the depth of the scene too. Nice capture all the way around. :cool:

Great job. Amazingly sharp for handheld @ 1/80s and well composed.

Beautiful valley Gary, I like that you included the edge in the LRC to really give you the sense of being on the edge and add depth to the image.
