Photographing Mountain Climbers Takes Balls—And Ladders—Of Steel [Video]

Photographing Mountain Climbers Takes Balls—And Ladders—Of Steel [Video]:
Photographing Mountain Climbers Takes Balls--And Ladders--Of SteelIf you're a photographer who covers extreme athletes like mountain climbers and wants to capture a moment from a unique angle, you're probably willing to take some risks yourself. Like Corey Rich's use of an incredibly precarious folding ladder tethered to the near vertical side of a mountain. Here's to hoping he wasn't working for free for the experience.
This particular behind-the-scenes moment occurred during a promotional shoot for the Nikon D4 where Corey apparently tried to match the extreme athletes stunt-for-stunt. The rig certainly led to a unique shot that you couldn't get from a helicopter, but isn't this what greenscreens were invented for? I won't tell if you won't.
