I titled this entry edge of the falls not because of the falls themselves but where I had to stand to get this picture. I walked down a small path that takes you right down to the mid level of the falls to look around to see if there was a good composition from this vantage point. From where I was standing I saw this tree on the other side that had some very cool mushroom growing on it. This is where I wanted to compose my shot. However there was very little room because this tree was literally right on the edge of the rock wall. Below me about a 15' drop. For some reason I told myself this shot won't work unless I get these mushrooms in the foreground. So getting down on my knees with my camera bag hanging off my back and over the side of the cliff and only two legs of my tripod on sturdy rock I just set the camera where I thought it should be. There was no way I could look through the view finder without falling down the other side. I set the timer and fired 3 shots. I noticed the sun was starting to go behind the rocks but had no idea I captured it just at the peak moment where it flares before disappearing behind an object. I viewed it after the shot and new that I got lucky on this one.
