Rock Gym Shots

April 14, 2010

A local Rock Climbing Gym asked me and the great Megan Case to shoot the gym for a new website they are putting together.  To be honest, this ended beng a lot harder then I thought and I think we are going to have to go back.  While I got a few good shots, most of them are not what I would want to show the public.  I decided that I needed to do my lights a bit differently and shoot at different angles.  While the lighting was OK, the angles just were all off.  Live and learn as they say.

But as I said, I got a few and here they are:

Yes, she is climbing upside down.

I am litterly hanging over the edge to get these next two shots.  One of the guys was hanging onto my belt as I leaned over (way over) the edge.
