scary walk
« on: May 11, 2017, 03:04:52 pm »

I'd just done it, twice. The bridge sways quite alarmingly, and it's a long way down.

I get dizzy just looking at the photo.
No way will you get me to cross that bridge!

No, Northern Ireland. Carrick a Rede. Was used in Game of Thrones, I'm told.

I think your timing of the photograph worked well.  I like that the person is just starting on the crossing instead of being in the center of the bridge (which is probably what I would have done).

By having the person just starting crossing, it builds, in my opinion, some suspense in the shot.

You could build even more suspense (and ambiguity) if you followed it by a photo from the same spot of the bridge empty.
Did he make it across, or...?

So much for my memory.

Definitely a scary walk - I feel dizzy looking at it.

Ah, I see your AK has a scope with integrated digicam...

Does give an entirely new meaning to the title.

How many times did you make him climb back up for another shot until you got it right?

The bridge is owned by the National Trust and access is quite carefully regimented. I dashed across fairly quickly, leaving my wife to meander and hold up the queue. That's her at the front.

I like this last one, but I think you wife deserves most of the credit.
