(No customer reviews yet. Be the first)
The thrill of adventure, it's a mix of adrenaline, danger, excitement, and action. But trying to capture that thrill in an eye-catching image is never easy, especially when the photographer braves infernos, dangles from cliffs or skydives from 13,000 feet above the ground. Learn the stories behind the lens where ... split-second timing can spell the difference between exhilarating success and devastating failure.
