Hello fellow A-Zers. V is for the vertigo I felt as I leaned over a railing to snap this pic of the lobby/atrium of San Francisco’s Hyatt Embarcadero Hotel from 2o floors up.

hi Stephen,
I’m soothed, that you didn’t fall down 20 floors while taking this risky VERTIGO shot …
same here!!! thanks for stopping by frizz!
I’ve got an irrational fear of heights. I’d never be able to take a shot like that, because my arms can’t reach while my back is pressed firmly against the wall. Especially when the railing only goes up to your waist!
hey drew … same here, but in this case I toughed it out because I knew it would be a killer shot. in my case, i get this sickening feeling in my stomach, and my hamstrings and calves alternate between stiffening up and getting all rubbery.
Haahaha I get that feeling in my stomach too, but not that hamstring and calves problem.
I bet you wound the camera’s shoulder strap tightly around your wrist!
hehe … tight enough to cut off circulation
Great shot!! I definitely understand vertigo!
thanks! kind of amazed i got this one.
Now that gave me vertigo for sure. Great shot!
thanks! kind of dizzying, eh?
It’s gorgeous and great place to stay.
a beautiful downtown san francisco hotel … it’s especially gorgeous at christmas!
Cool interpretation Stephen!
thanks madhu … much appreciated, as usual!
I would have felt the same way.
… and to get there you take a glass pod, a trip in its own right!
I can barely look at this pic for more than a second… Your mission is a success!
nice!!!
I’m not a great fan of leaning over balconies – although I don’t suffer from vertigo. I’d probably be worrying more about dropping the camera. Heights are generally ok – it’s ladders I don’t like!
Nice idea for the challenge
hi finchley … oh, ladders freak me out!!!
