Landscape photo of beautiful Tory island

“Fleet of rock. Going forth.”

A panoramic landscape photo of the beautiful Tory island cliffs, which I took during a photography trip with a very good friend of mine Mark Macdonald, 1 week before my wedding. I am pretty scared of heights and I knew I had to take this particular landscape photo from a precarious location on a ledge to get the best angle. Mark carried my stuff down to the ledge while I, petrified, scuppered down on my backside. Mark had to keep me calm as I shot and I was even afraid to lean forward to change the camera settings on the view camera. Mark had to do it to my instructions. After a lot of hyperventilating, puffing and panting, I managed to get this image!
