A thread over in "How I Took It"
Painful photographs had me wondering if any one has managed to hurt themselves while taking a picture.
A few months ago I was out trying to take some shots of a train. I was climbing a flight of steel steps up to the tracks when I heard the train approaching. Gracefully (
) and quickly turning to face the train, I tripped over the top step and fell on the grating at the top. As I went flying, my first thought was to save my camera, the photographer can be repaired cheaper
. Luckily, only a scratched filter that I had just purchased for my lens the day before (why I always put filters on my lenses now). However my knees were black and blue and my hand skinned. Plus my embarrassment at what happened since of course there were witnesses to my klutziness.
This is the shot I quickly snapped before hobbling back down the stairs:
Not even that good for all I went through.
