Photograph by Gus Schiavon , National Geographic Your Shot
As a professional canyoning photographer ... I had seen and taken plenty of shots from the top or bottom of a waterfall but never from the inside of one, writes Gus Schiavon , who submitted this photo to a recent Your Shot assignment. Here, a canyoneer begins descending the Campuhan waterfall in Bali, Indonesia s Kerenkali canyon.
Getting in position for the shot involved using a secondary belay and my own rope, rappelling until I was slightly behind the waterfall s flow, carefully securing myself, finding good foot balance, and, most importantly, using a special waterproof cover for my camera while keeping the front element clear from water spray, which would have ruined the shot.
Schiavon s picture recently appeared in the Your Shot assignment Behind the Adventure .
