Hahaha funny! Thanks for sharing.


I can only wish I was rich enough to be able to use those lenses like that...

Those are all a bit crazy. And yet, I can see myself using some of them...

I have seriously considered this. All joking aside, does anybody make something like this? Maybe with a hotshoe attachment? There have been numerous times where I wanted to setup a shot on my tripod to shoot a scene where it was really foggy & drizzling rain, but was afraid of what it would do to camera & lens.

I like this one too, but after looking at all of the shots, I've decided I will never be a professional photographer. A guy could get hurt doing some of that stuff.

The first few were on another page that I posted a month or two back. Prompted by the ones picked out here, quite a few of them are new to me (although I have a feeling that some are faked).
