Description
Stitched panoramic photo above Kaaterskill Falls in autumn. Note the twisted perspective. I like it that way, and there is not a good way to straighten it anyway.

I studied and studied and studied each of your Kaaterskill Falls prints and this is the one! I'm glad you didn't slip and shoot right off the edge. (You may have grabbed for my leg and taken me over with you.)
Gregory Scott replied:
Thank you very much. You can see to top of the falls on the far left of the pano, at about a 30 degree tilt out of level. I wanted to capture the wide sequence, and so tilting the axis of rotation from level was necessary to the full length of the stream visible. The night before I took these photos, a girl fell off of the top of the falls, which I think is nearly a 100 foot drop. She actually survived, and sued the state park for not marking the falls as dangerous. (She won.) This is a very sad story, to me, in every aspect. Still, tongue in cheek, I DID shoot over the edge. However, it what a photographic shoot, not a chute shoot. The rocks are slippery, and even crossing the stream about 20 feet from the escarpment I was very, very careful, using my tripod for additional support. The water was just shoe deep, but the rocks were flat and smooth.
