A friend tipped me off to this video of Joe McNally photographing the changing of the light bulb at the top of the Empire State building. This was too cool not to pass on. Enjoy!

I couldn’t believe how high up they were. Scary stuff. I think they went up this column, which I photographed last year.

@Raoul yup insanely high! That tower is indeed what they were on. The view from the helicopter is what really drives the height home… not to mention the ultra wide angle of Joe holding the camera above them all. Very cool photographs!

@Richard I had the same experience… had sweaty palms at the end of it.
I found a little more on his efforts photographing this on the Lexar web site

Great idea he had about using the wide angle above him. I know that is something I could never do though. Certain heights I can deal with - but that one - no way…
