Very sad indeed. Have to admit to putting myself at risk for a shot. These were taken in the Grand Canyon, no fences though. Don't think I've jumped fences before but not sure I wouldn't have for this bird.
the Condor we were photographing, a very rare bird. |

the canyon overlook is full of loose rocks. the signs warn you of this. It is very easy to slip on these rocks. I feel for the family |

Yep, this one had me running for safety!
That ridge is 1/8-1/4 of a mile away. It nearly blinded me.

I heard on the news today that we had a 43 yr old woman that fell from Pictured Rocks yesterday. She also died after hitting the rock slab below.

I'll be in Yellowstone tomorrow. Lots of photos, but safely taken. I will have to show this to my 11 yr. old who likes to be on the other side of those rules. She thinks I'm mean because I make her stay where we are supposed to be! |

I was nearly blinded recently by ligthning aswell, the thunder shook the ground out from under me. I was convinced for about ten seconds i was blind.
Does anyone know how common such a thing is or if capturing that sort up close bolt can damage a camera? |

I was in Moab a few months ago and I was definately doing the same things...this'll make me rethink the next time I decide to get as close to the edge of Green River Overlook on a windy day trying to get the best angle possible without actually stepping over the edge. Boy, laying there on my stomach only a few inches from an 800-foot dropoff was it nerve-racking...but I got some excellent shots. I would post them but I was shooting film. |
