"Will that grip hold?"

Just a sequence of pictures taken while bouldering... I wonder whether

their arrangement in a triptych is interesting and/or story-telling

enough: what do you think?

A very good idea for telling a story. Well done.

Ottima idea e splendida realizzazione!!6/6

Great concept and originality!

The presentation is interesting and also the way you took the shots... I like it a lot... Jiri

It certainly works for me. The movement blur in the last shot is a bonus. The progression from shot to shot works well and there is even the puddle? to break the boredom of the ground.

This definitely tells a story and quite whimsical too - I like it a lot. It may be worth experimenting a bit with the border to make it a little less obtrusive.

Very much original idea.

Not bad, feels like a contact sheet.

I like sequences presented like this. While it's interesting to see in a photograph what life looks like when time is frozen, it's just as interesting to let a series of shots, presented together, tell a story, albeit with gaps in time that the viewer will use their imagination and own experience to fill. In this case, you've captured the feel of casual bouldering on thin rugosities.

The composition's good in all of them, with the climber flanked by the triangular and oval / round indentations in the rock floor below. The final shot is, imho, the strongest, with the outstretched arms creating nice lines from the bottom of the frame, and setting the tone for movement away from the bottom of the frame and the rock face. I also like how the falling climber is now disconnected from her shadow - nice touch to get that in there. But, most of all, the bottom shot wouldn't be as powerful without the history that led to it, as seen in the two prior shots.

I have a similar post, though telling a short story on a river, here.

Best, Jeremy

This a a perfect combination of good photography and story telling.

The three picture could stand by themself, graet captures of frozen moments, typical of photography.

The sequence, three frames only, and an entire story told. Congatulations.

This is a nice idea,Salvatore.

Interesting sequence... tells a story and made me shudder a bit...

Very interesting sequence! I only wish I could see a sequence of four images (the last one) so we can feel more that sense of falling. Anyway it is such a clever presentation.

Salvatore, storytelling and photography are both quite good here. I can almost feel her picking her way carefully up the rock and then . . .. Yikes!

Interesting sequence that conveys the human effort. The last one looks like floating and is compatible to the question " will that grip hold"?

Dear Salvatore,

I think you've told the story of the hiker in a good way.

Title seems appropriate and the reading of the image is plain and storytelling.

 

Last image is like the final frame of a thriller movie... What happened to the girl? I can't see any rope!.

 

Best regards Fabio

nice story Salvatore, with all the necessary ingredients planning-trying-failing, let's start over again...

Right Sal, you are keeping us in suspense. There is no safety rope so what happened to her?

I've been off the site for a while, so I come only now to all your comments: thanks for the positive feedback to this shot. As for your concerns, the fall was less than a couple of meters...power of the 20mm lens used from above!

Oh, this one is really interesting. It brings tension, the point of view is very different from standard and it's kind of funny.
