Look Out Below!



The Bridge To Nowhere, San Gabriel Mountains, March 30th 2013, Rolleicord, 75mm f3.5, Ilford HP5+ 400 ISO

Today's post was inspired by Bad Boy Chris, Probably the most extreme dude in Japan right now. In case you ever think about it, you help inspire your students to be better peoples, your blog inspires people, well at least 1 person, to be better. Don't let them jerk off kitty killers get ya down bro.

I've done this trail 3 times now, and it's getting easier and more fun every time. I bought a new/old camera a couple weeks ago and took it on this hike to test out a few shots. I was able to get another really good shot that I will post sometime soon. I walked it on Monday and it started raining on me about a mile and a half into it. I said to hell with it and kept on going. I was too big a chicken to jump off the bridge though. I don't think there is any amount of money that could get me to jump off, short of $10 million.

Nice action shot! Question though, what is the vertical line along the right of the photo? It intersects with another one along the top.

Bleh! That vertical line is a mark my scanner made. I tried 3 different times to scan this and it kept doing it. I might have to invest in a better scanner.

There is a spot further down the path and right above the river that would be an excellent spot to catch some better mid jump shots. I might try that when I go again next week.
Geez there are just too many rocks around that bridge for me to want to jump off it either!

If you think the rocks are scary, there is a reddish rust stain on one of the rocks below the bridge. I was joking with some of the bungee jumpers about that being where the people with the faulty equipment end up. XD
