National Geographic Adventure Photo of the Week: Dean Potter Highlining

Finally after 6 months of waiting I can share this image of Dean Potter walking a line up on Cathedral Peak in Yosemite.  Hands down this is one of the craziest images I’ve ever captured.  A lot  of the credit really should goto Dean though as he was  the one who dreamed up the shot over a year ago.  I shot this image while on assignment for National Geographic Television while shooting A TV show on Dean.  I’ll post more of the details about the show soon.

NG Adventure online decide to pickup the image for their Extreme Photo of the Week to promote the TV show which put a nice smile on my face.  There are a few paragraphs over there talking a little bit more about the image.  Check it out here:  http://adventure.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/extreme-photo-of-the-week/#/dean-potter-human-flight_48311_600x450.jpg

    Incredible video. I’m still trying to figure out where you were located when you took this video. Were you near Medlicott Dome?
