Can your photo shoot come close to comparing to this one?

I'm not one for heights, so when I saw this one and the finished results, it jumped out for obvious reasons.  I'm not sure I'd be able to do this.  The only thing I don't care for, are the finished results.  They seem just a little to much over cooked and take away from the realism that these shots aren't composites.

Heights don't bother me so much, but I know plenty of people who would say heck no to jumping on a 40 some odd story building ledge so I could get a photo of them.

The video was a 'nice to have', other wise I would have thought these were composites too.

I would not have a single problem with the heights at all. One of my favorite things to do is rock climbing when I am in an area that has good places to do so. I see that they were using safety equipment, so it was pretty safe. I doubt that I would be one to wear one of the harnesses. That is because those things have about killed me a couple of times when they caught on things when moving along.

The heights wouldn't bother me so much, especially seeing there is a tether holding you down.

Apparently these are SmugMug employees, I find it surprising that a company would have their employees do this as a publicity stunt.

Like Joves mentioned they're using equipment, but I don't know if or how much they might have trained on how to use it properly. Seems risky at that height since obviously there's a drop that would mean someone's death if they fell from there. Maybe they're experienced climbers but it didn't sound like it.
