Your Most Precarious Physical Standpoint for a Photograph

This looks like suicide, but apparantly it isn't..
Thanks for sharing!

I've found myself in a quite a few precarious spots while shooting mountaineering photos.
But probably most notably, shooting from the back of a moto for a pro cycling race that crossed over 11,312' Monarch Pass twice. Very exciting!

I stand next to big cliffs probably a couple times a week in the summer. Haven't fallen off yet...




Then there's the thin ice...


This spot at the Black Canyon is next to a 2000'+ drop. I only go for this perspective when it's calm and not wet like the first shot!

Please don't!

I enjoy your mountain photos a lot, especially as I'm unlikely to be able to get into real mountains any more, alas.

That's definitely a goal of mine so I'll do my best not to.

In 2013 I walked the entire 215-mile John Muir Trail in the High Sierra.  I set aside extra time for 17 peaks to bag along the way; weather permitted me only 11 of them.

Here I am losing my balance during a tripod selfie on the summit of one of the peaks: the Painted Lady, a prominent and colorful outcropping directly above the Rae Lakes.  Note the sunglasses, which I stepped on early in my walk and then had to repeatedly duct-tape back together for 3+ weeks.
