I went to visit my parents in NC. It's back to manual for me, I do not get auto focus. Anyway they have a bridge that connects the island with the mainland so I thought wouldn't that be a nice shot. I walked up the bridge crossed the road and was struck by fear, I couldn't get my camera up to my eye, I couldn't move I didn't even know I had a fear of heights. I forced myself to take two shots. It took me a half an hour to get back down that bridge which should of took only five minutes! All I could see was the newspaper headlines, woman could not get off bridge saved by fire department . I had a death grip on my camera lol. Here's the shot it would of been nice if I could of composed it and the added dust sure makes me happy! whine whine whine lol http://wisegirl.smugmug.com/photos/21442437-M.jpg

My wife suffers from that same fear, and I know how difficult it was to even take a shot, period.

Kudos to you :thumb

Only good thing about fear of heights for me, is it keeps my wife from shopping at big malls :D
