This incredible scene is a hundred times more stunning in person. These cliffs are apparently the most famous attraction in Ireland, annually attracting close to a million visitors. The cliffs run for 8 miles, with its highest tip at 241 meters above sea level. The sheer height, compounded by extreme wind forces that push and pull at these altitudes, makes the cliffs extremely dangerous. Understandably, they've barricaded the edge of the cliffs so that the village idiot can not get in the 15 meter radius of the edge. But, being the idiot of most villages, I went right up to the edge, otherwise I'd have a merger ruining the frame. Plus in order to get the full profile of the cliffs, I had to use a wide angle from the edge. So anyway, while I'm climbing over the safety barricades and slowly inching forward to the edge, I started to wonder what type of subsequential headlines would be published in the local papers. "Magnanimous photographer falls to his early death" or "2006 Darwin Award granted to a Canadian Photographer"? Since the second headline seemed most likely, I quickly snapped a few pictures and turned around to find solid ground. But as I returned, I saw probably 10 others that had followed my lead and were now coming to where I was standing. (including this guy, who seemed more interested in his composition, than tomorrow's newspaper headlines). So, with my new found confidence ("2006 Darwin awards granted to a GROUP of photographers"), I decided to put more effort into my composition. The final product, as you see above, is a 7 image HDR.
