Poured out a bottle of wine coolers for a bubble shot. Picked all of the petals off of flowers. Bought a cupcake for the sole purpose of taking a picture of it.

@flamez
I wondered if the teddy bear's head was really cut off or just an editing trick.
July 21st, 2011
Stepped into the water fully clothed to get closer to my subject when my zoom lens wasn't quite enough for my taste :-D

Cut a big hole in the front of one of my tank tops...
Totally broke my ironing board trying to sit on top of it for a shot :)
July 21st, 2011
apparently not enough as i cant think of anything really crazy, that's tonights project sorted. I've always wanted to try one of those "sit on a ladder then photoshop it out so it looks like you're flying" type shots.

@flamez
lol. I wasn't asking, since you said that you cut the head, I took that to mean that you actually cut the head off. Sorry for possibly giving away your secrets.

I always laugh at myself whenever I remember those 'sacrifices'

> soak my head in an aquarium


> lay down on ashes


> put my head on a small box


> wear garbage or nest (???)


And those really cool to look at, but really silly backstage.
> a 90-degree angle shift


@Scrivna that is a must try... The result is so rewarding. (hmmmm... disregard body pain afterwards.. hahahaha!)
> The jump (100times) NOW, body pain LATER


and those things like,
> destroy an umbrella, a chair, squeeze a tube of toothpaste, put something not so nice to eat in my mouth,


> and balancing on weird things such as broken chair, tv-boxes, sofa

I did have to say to my mum and sister that you had taken the bears head off with editing software - you would not believe how upset they got!

Hmmm...I've poured out nail polish, dressed up like a life sized doll, posed naked in front of the camera, gotten dangerously close to bees/spiders, smashed a piggy bank with a hammer, and done uncomfortable poses for levitation shots. Nothing too ridiculous, I suppose.

@Scrivna @arielmagyawejr i can so relate .....
now im thingking another silly subjects ..... lols

Put on a cape in front of my neighbors and mailman (who works with my husband). Worth it!

July 22nd, 2011
Drawn fake eyelashes on my face, laid in the dirt/grass/water (including in my front yard where passers-by pointed and laughed at me), gotten my camera very wet in the rain/snow... I'm sure there are more!
July 22nd, 2011
Sue
self timer on, run and leap, over and over and over...just to get the right mid air shot. not too crazy...
July 22nd, 2011
Nothing too crazy.... -__O





I like this one a little better.


July 22nd, 2011
Oh the things I could list....And yet, I can't think of any good examples. I'm one of those "thinks I'm the best photographer in the world" types so you'll often find me lying in the middle of a sidewalk getting the perfect shot of an ant.

Oo! I've walked out into the middle of the road to get a photo of the pretty streetlights.
July 22nd, 2011
Just remembered! I'm also one of those 'creepy teenager who's actually quite nice' types. I was at a park for an hour creeping around for a good photo. I live in a small town and no one really knows me. They're all a bit creeped out. ALL IN THE NAME OF PHOTOGRAPHY! *Proudface

This was taken at Wal-Mart at 2:39 AM. I caught some funny looks from the overnight staff. I didn't realize until a subsequent visit that a sticker on the door prohibits photography on the premises -- whoops!

But, hey: It's. Wal. Mart. Tell me there aren't kids in there goofing around and snapping pics of each other with their cell phones on any given day.

stopping to grab & camera & shot away while this snake slithered by me out on my run, I got lot's of "ONLY YOU WOULD STOP TO TAKE A PICTURE" comments from friends & family, lol
July 22nd, 2011
Hunting bee's in my backyard, standing on the top deck of a parking-garage with no car of mine in sight, playing with toys in the yard, laying on the bricks in the yard, getting sand in my hair, getting a lot of comments from my neighbours...
Well, nothing drastic, but I think I do behave different for that one shot...
Oh, and stalk every family member I have for a shot!
July 22nd, 2011
I trespassed big time for this one....through yellow tape and one of those flmsy orange fences, through giant ankle twisting ruts, boards with nails sticking through them, and some thickets and tall yellow weeds that were wet and gross, on a busy street where anyone could see that crazy camera lady. I want to go back....I need a pretty sky behind it.
:-)
July 22nd, 2011
I also crocheted these things (as sort of a joke) in desperation during May's Self portrait challenge, just for the photo

July 23rd, 2011
