| Comments: | Also can't help noticing that opposite to this picture is an ad for a company that is selling a comprehensive guide to Health and Safety in the work place. Yeah... as if Comment by Ace on 29th June 2007 One of my "core values" (as David Brent would say!) is that I believe firmly in one of the first laws of physics. That of "conservation of energy". So whenever I am climbing, or doing anything to be honest, I do like to stop and conserve energy on a regular basis. But then I get bored if I'm not doing anything, so my other core value is "while I'm here I might as well take a photograph". When I'm on a mountain I often wonder why many of my colleagues have hundreds of pounds worth of camera gear stashed in the bottom of their rucsacs? Mine is always in a protective pouch, but readily accessible. Time will tell whether the new generation of digital cameras are as robust in this respect as traditional SLRs.

What I like about this shot is the thinking or opportunity or dedication of the cameraman. So here I am hanging onto a rope in case I fall back a few thousand feet - what shall I do? Ah yes - let go and take a cracking picture. Unless of course you are triggering it some form of remote - but I doubt.
