Ian, my shots from Horseshoe Bend look remarkably similar to yours! I couldn't get to the edge either. In fact, I think you may have gotten closer than I did!

Feb 28, 2012 12:45 | #18 just lean over the edge:  You could just get a large tripod and take a photo without getting to the edge, if you are afraid of heights.

Amen, brother. Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

I was so worried about the drop I forgot to bracket my shots, but was able to get what i wanted in the end. I want to go again, but not if I could stomach it again. Someone fell off the cliff just two weeks before I was there.  Dave - Riverside, CA PhotographersNature.com

I also made sure no one was within 100' of me when I crawled out. Dave - Riverside, CA PhotographersNature.com

dashotgun Goldmember  More info | Feb 29, 2012 22:29 | #25 I was there tonight at sunset and I was more scared of the other photographers then the heights. What a rabid surly bunch I kept looking around to make sure no one would push me!. I am off to upper antelope tomorrow. You don't take a photograph, you make it. ~Ansel Adams

I'm going to do the antelopes next time I'm up that way and will try Horseshoe Bend again (after seeing someone for a Valium script, I think). Ian - http://www.icassell.smugmug.com

It illustrates the way MANY people feel up there. The combination of height and wind can make it a bit exciting. Here's a link to a shot of me standing right on the edge 3hrs. after sunset with a full moon at my back. I had to stand still for 8 sec. with very strong winds. You can tell I was using my tripod for a little support. I actually felt more comfortable at night than during the day. I think the danger is part of what makes this area so spiritual and exciting. I hope posting this link is ok. I didn't want to put the picture on your post but I thought it tied in to the topic well.  http://duelinglenses.smugmug.com …gFW/2/L/MG9759-copy-L.jpg Wow, my hands are sweating just looking at that photo. I'll probably make a trip out there in a few years but I don't if I can ever get to the edge. Maybe I'll bring a thick rope and tie it to something. 7DMKII, 5DMKII, Canon 17-40L, Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro, Canon 70-200mmL f/2.8 II, Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary, Zeiss ZE 50mm Makro Planar, Rokinon 14mm f/2.8, Kenko Pro 300 DG 1.4x TC, Canon 2X III TC, 580EX II x2, YN560, RF603's

Mar 01, 2012 12:08 | #30 argyle -- I think you need to go out a little further and try again. There's a bit of stone jutting out in the FG of your photograph that obscures a bit of the bend Ian - http://www.icassell.smugmug.com
