The Rock Climber - Behind the Scenes with Simon Carter

QUE OBJETIVOS USARON

[Skyswinger]

I'm a paraglider pilot so I'm used to heights but somehow the idea of hanging on a rope frightens the life out of me, I could feel my heart racing just watching this video. To do all of that and still have a grip of your emotions enough to take fantastic photos.......thats control! I salute you.........twice.

Love the 600mm just sitting on the edge! One big gust and bye bye !! :O)

[2000Juliett]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2000Juliett]

WOW!!!!

[InFrameProduction]

A Canon Camera would of worked alot better ;-) and would helped you climb at the same time..lol

[Edinwildlifetog]

@InFrameProduction He has sense that is why he shoots the best:O)

[generalbenson]

Great video. Love Simon's work. I would wager that the 600mm on the tripod isn't nearly as close to the edge as it looks. Changing lenses on a rope is always a fun game...

[BRjp007]

i would never leave a lens at that position especially there alone (0:55) that lens i think is the nikon 600mm i dont know but it sure is fucking expensive...

cant even imagine through a 600mm nikon down the cliff....

[madpower111]

cool video. shows the amount of work involved in getting climbing shots. and i was also afraid for the tripod-camera just at the edge!

[RubenCraninx]

Nice vidoe. but I hate the Tripod on the left during the interview, one 20 cm from a 100m drop. With the strap playing in the wind. One gust of wind and the camera and lens become part of the brand Flykon

[MrHuckster101]

@RubenCraninx I was thinking the same thing!

[eggs640adv]

Hi Simon great vid mate looks like you really enjoy the climbing together with the photography. Thanks for posting

[airsoftdon]

[ion7]

i had sweaty hands and feet watching this

[witz85]

@charbcbc

Mix that with rock climbing and you are one broke mofo

[unheard128]

Balls of steel! i would need some serious VR to get steady shots that high up.

[maxmays1]

i give mad props to this guy. he hangs off cliffs. 100's of feet above the ground swinging around taking shots and making video clips!

[itchyundies]

awesome bud could you tell me what bag your using to carry ya lenses the little drop in type bag looked cool cheers and great images

[onsightsimon]

@itchyundies

It's a Think Tank Speed Racer.

[itchyundies]

@onsightsimon cool cheers bud im currently using a think tank 360 degree with the rotating camera bag system they make great gear will have to check this speed racer out though hard to find in australia for a decent price cheers

[HAZteriode]

I like when professional get the credit to those placea they visit and not just use the place or people for their own propuse. Obs! always thanks for the oportunity they give you to create you wonderfull work.

This awesome place is called Canaima Park in Venezuela.

I hope this comment get the credits to show to others! bye

[stinkoman01]

Are you talking about the place in this video? Cause it's not Venezuela bud, it's the Blue Mountains, Australia.

[bmilleratwork]

Great video!!! Truly awe inspiring to get a glimpse at your work!!

[SashaMilkman]

cool...........8)

[geonlansis]

i was so scared at 4:17 where you had to change lens i thought your lens were gonna drop!

[onsightsimon]

Thanks everyone for the comments, it's great to see everyone has been enjoying the video.

>M9923 - you asked what bag I'm using, it's a Think Tank Speed Racer. You need something with a shoulder and waist strap and I've found the size and proportions of this one perfect.

Thanks again everyone.

Simon Carter

[M923]

amazing! I've just been inspired thank you

btw, what bag is that? It seems really helpful as opposed to the ones I've been using recently.

[Dannyli0810]

WoW~~~~~that's the only word !!!

[gardenia967]

[visper]

Brilliant video... I've been Canon even since I sold my f90x many years ago - the D3s almost... almost makes me want to swap sides... almost... Oh, maybe it was the shots Simon was getting with it ;-)
