It would have been stupid to have ignored the warning of this fence. As brittle as the wood might be and as rusty as the barbed wire might be - it was still a deterrent.
Push beyond and there was danger - the path just fell away to the rocky beach beneath and it was quite a drop.
We get a lot of cliff erosion around the Gower.

Látrabjarg cliffs, Westfjords, Iceland
The Látrabjarg cliffs in the Westfjords mark both the westernmost point of Iceland and Europe. Hosting millions of birds, it is Europe’s largest bird cliff, 14 km (9 mi) long and 441 meters (1,444 ft) high.

Cliff Zener doing what he does so well. This spot took a little bushwhacking to get to. It was steep and thick, and Cliff tried to do a swan dive into the creek. I'm sure glad he made a graceful landing and didn't hurt himself because it woulda been a chore carrying him out of here. I always have a great time shooting with Cliff. We always have several laughs while at the same time still being serious about our shooting. If you haven't had the pleasure to see Cliffs work, do yourself a favor and check it out here: Cliff Zener
Did I really have to do the famous 10-second timer run? No. Why didn't I use my remote instead? I have no idea. Is it slightly ridiculous to do the run only to pretend to be gazing peacefully out into the distance? Um....go away.
The view from above Skógafoss is worth the heart-pounding climb up. Do it, do it!
And Photoshop method for the day, or week, or something...I don't see other people use this technique much at all and it's one of my favorites, so I thought I'd share it. I love layer blending modes in Photoshop, but Multiply and Screen just aren't that useful to me since they respectively darken/lighten even the areas that are already dark/light enough.
So, several years ago I created what I called my "Multiply without black" action. What you do is this:
1) Duplicate background layer
2) Set new layer blending mode to Multiply. Everything is too dark but we'll fix that.
3) Double-click on layer
4) Blending mode option panel pops up. Under the Blend If section, Alt-click on the black slider under This Layer. This splits the black slider in half.
5) Drag the right half of the black slider all the way to the right.
6) Click okay. Tada! Your layer is now darkening everything except the blacks that would be clipped. Adjust opacity to desired effect.
6.5) Optionally, use the same method to lighten everything except whites by setting the blending mode to Screen and splitting the white slider instead.
I hope that helps some people...it's certainly helped me balance exposures over the years, especially skies. Enjoy!
