dee 14 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Project Warriors: Fun. To be honest... Nicki took this shot with my Camera, but that is me jumping this cliff... The water is just a little out of the frame at the bottom. I just wanted to submit something this week. Link to comment
mvisionphotography 1 Posted August 10, 2007 I give it a thumbs down in the FUN area. You have NOW given me nightmares. OMG! Now the other JUMPING in the water picture looked like a blast. THIS picture looks like you are jumping to your death. WELL there is NO water in the picture. OMG! YOUR DIEING. HA GREAT picture NICKI! You get good praise. YOU DARREN are C r A z Y! OMG C r A z Y!!

dee 14 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks Micki!!! LOL! I am a little nuts! LOL! Best part is... I am TERRIFIED of heights! LOL! On the way down, there was time to think how bad of an idea that was! I still went up and jumped a few more times though. Nicki did do a great job didn't she? Link to comment
lbattjes 0 Posted August 10, 2007 OMG...I'm with Micki on this one...I'm a bit afraid of heights as well! Nicki, well done on grabbing the shot...Darren, good job of ignoring your fear. Next time, though...could you include some pretty blue water? By the way...the shadow of you on the rock is my favorite part of this pic...that's just too cool! Oh, and did Nicki jump, too?

dee 14 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Yes, as a matter of fact, she joined us on the next trip up the cliff! (she messed up her knee when she hit the water though... If you look close, you can see I am wearing sandals to lessen the pain of impact on my feet) The shadow was the reason In picked this one.... there is another cool one where I am half way into the water on impact, but I really liked that shadow.

jan_piller 0 Posted August 10, 2007 I see you've been at the gorge! I got him from the top end! hahaha This is certainly fun!!! Good grab!! I love the shadow you got on the rock behind him! Mine isn't as good stop action though - got it with my point and shoot. I'll have togo back and get some better shots! I love this! Link to comment
nicki 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Darren was so afraid that He and his other friend that is watching him leap to his death LOL That they were doing rock, paper, scissors to see who would go first... Fantastic Jump Darren Link to comment
dee 14 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Nice one Jan! We love going there to do this... Most people just jump off the smaller ones (and you get kicked out for jumping off of these ones) Link to comment
jan_piller 0 Posted August 10, 2007 They don't call you Warrior for nothing!!! Very brave of you!! Link to comment
jan_piller 0 Posted August 10, 2007 You have to work in two groups - there's only one ranger making the rounds - while he's on one side of the gorge, the group on the other side jumps - then when he makes his way around to the second group - the other group jumps. Link to comment
dee 14 0 Posted August 10, 2007 This is the shot of us playing to see who had to go first... I lost this time! LOL! Link to comment
jan_piller 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Guess there's no way to cheat at Rock Paper Scissors.....For the rest of the Warriors, this is a shot of Darren NOT coming for air after his jump...... hahahaha Link to comment

gerfoy3 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Nicki, great shot...the shadow and the feeling of scale is great and makes the shot. Darren....You are one crazy Son of ..... Ones mans fun is another mans craziness... Some would say standing at the side of a road photographing bikes racing at nearly 200mph is madness but I think I am now assured I am TOTALLY SANE... When I saw this I said to myself, who is that MAD Fucke*...and I read on and discover its you... Crazy Crazy person.... Ger.. Link to comment
dee 14 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks Richard Thanks Ger... I still think you are crazier than I! Link to comment
anthonyd 0 Posted August 10, 2007 I'm on a bad monitor so I'll only say what I can. Four great things about this shot: 1) The shadow rocks! (Pun intended!) 2)No water showing. Much better impact this way, IMO. That also breaks out of the standard mold for cliff jumping shots! 3) I can hear Nicki saying, "Sure honey, go ahead and jump off the 100ft cliff...just let me hold your camera first." 4) Love your duck imitation!

JohnMWright 1 Posted August 10, 2007 I was going to say "NO, DON'T JUMP!" but it was too late already. When I saw the guy falling, my stomach jumped with him... Oh that's insane. Too bad you couldn't hear the noises I made! This reminds me of the stories my dad told me about himself... jumping into deep water-filled quarries! Link to comment
