Camp Timber-Lee has a High Ropes Course. My sons climbed up there, while I took pictures from terra firma. I wanted to show something with perspective, so instead of looking for an unobstructed view, I positioned myself so that a young person remained in the foreground. I thought it would be easy because an overcast sky causes even lighting and reduces harsh shadows. But that doesn't work so well when you're taking pics from below your subjects. I used my new flash contraption to light up the girl on the left.
A couple posts ago I explained how "I took some non-functioning relics that used to be a wireless flash transmitter and receiver, stripped the guts, and hardwired it to make an extension cable from my camera's hot shoe to an external flash." So for the shot above, I held the flash out with my left arm so we could see the details and color of her hair, backpack and jacket. This is what my flash extension looks like:

You are a very talented photographer my good friend. It's a pleasure to look upon your photographs.
Have a blessed weekend, and especially Lord's Day Craver!
Nice perspective. We have one of these adventure courses near where I live too.
the high ropes course looks fun but hey, that shouldn't surprise you coming from me. the look on your son's face though is pretty priceless.
More like a meddler Sandman, but thank you.
Speaking of perspective, your new profile pic is really neat, Happyone!
It DOES look fun! I had hoped I could go up there, too. And Lime, I wonder what kind of pics I'd get up there! Yeah... I love that expression!
i never could fully climb to the top of rope in jr. high. wish i had my camera with me then, because i saw lots of kids fall down atop the other kids!!

Mr. Dave, I see that in the movies all the time, but we never did it in my schools. I wonder if the essential muscles used are the same ones we use for a pull-up.
