I shot this self portrait a couple years ago on a visit to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. After shooting a beautiful sunrise, I quickly ran to this spot I had scouted the previous day. I setup my tripod on a large boulder type rock close to the edge, and put the camera on a 10 second timer. I then would have 10 seconds to drop 6 feet off this rock to a lower one, run about 15 feet to the edge of a straight 2000 foot drop and stop just a short foot from the edge Then I would have to compose myself for the shot, so I didn't look as frazzled as I felt running to the edge like that. Needless to say, it took me about a dozen tries to get it just right, and by the time I did, I was sweating from more than just running back and forth. =)
