It was a rather precarious setup, the tripod at maximum, the bottom edge of the image was at the very end of the rocky outcrop ~ 6 feet above the surrounding ground. It was also stormy/windy and hail was intermittently coming down. Taken with a Wista 45SP, bag bellows, Schneider 47XL SA. And, of course, you're looking at the scene upside down and in retrograde, while you are at the same time wondering if the ground is going to rise up and smack you ;)Quote:

Oh man, I don't understand what's wrong with people sometimes. Glad you made it out okay. And glad you were able to capture that image in case it disappears because of bad folks.Quote:

It's a total disgraceful disrespectful degradation. But then old growth thousand-year-old Sequoia trees were turned into fence posts back in the day.Quote:
