In 1942 photographer Ansel Adams took a picture of Snake River standing on a car to give him better elevation and scope. His pictures are world famous and were taken in black and white. The photo above is my picture in black and white of the same landscape except there are trees and bushes now blocking the view of the river's curve. How technology and photography has changed since his time. I am an amateur photographer but the advancement of the digital SLR camera and a computer with editing software gives me as good results.
