All for the shot!

[3nder]

As photographers, im sure we all know the meaning of that saying!

So, whats the craziest thing youve done in the name of photography so far?

Last nite there was severe thunderstorms around here so what do i do? Go outside w/ a metal tripod ofc! The result turned out quite nice I think [:

[Breanna Riner]

Very nice shot! Can't say I've done anything too crazy for my project yet...Other than the usual laying in grass, standing out in the rain. Although there have been some pictures I've done while driving...does that count as crazy?

[Karen Hofmann]

Not too many crazy things. I do lay on the railroad tracks at one of my favorite locations. The last time I was there a couple stopped to see if I was okay. I think they thought I might be trying to kill myself.

Some people might figure this to be in this category:



For me, holding a tiny point and shoot to the side and hoping I got a decent shot, whilst on an open empty road in France... not so dangerous.

@chevymom also that's awesome! Well worth the risk :P

[Annie Charalambous]

I was a little too enthusiastic at an animal park - the eagles were not pleased with me getting all up in their koolaid.

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

@indiannie_jones been there, chased by geese :)

[Annie Charalambous]

@sdpace Haha, nice :D I chased a peacock. SOB actually ran away from me.

[3nder]

@eyebrows Nice

[Missy]

Playing in the rain. I got totally soaked doing this one:

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

I suppose this


which was taken hanging off the edge of a cliff in gale force 12 winds. in fact during good sea storms it is quite a regular pastime

:)

@asrai Wow sick! Sounds like fun to me [:

[Chelsea Porter]

This one I got after sitting by a window for like 2 hours straight just hitting the button over and over until I finally got a few shots. I was so excited.

[Allegresse]

Trespassing. =)

[stephanie dp]

crossed a busy street, ran over the railroad tracks, got yelled at by a worker that said to stay off the tracks (the train did come), and then hung around in the graffiti tunnels where, nearby, there were who-knows-who people living, hanging, and doing their thing - luckily we didn't run into them.

[christiq]

shooting with my SLR while driving across the bridge!

[Janna E.]

I stood in the middle of a busy street while the stoplight was red to take this:


And this was right before the cow started chasing me:

[Ed]

Note: No children were harmed in the taking of this photograph. Well, unless you count getting very wet as harmed, then yes, they were harmed a lot.

[FunnyFace]

I did nothing dangerous in this shot of my OH, except risk retaliation and a snowball fight. And it happened. Worth it tho!

[Hope Russell]

April 15th I was walking around campus looking for photos - not looking where I was going. I ran right into the corner of a cement bench. My leg swelled up and bruised ugly. The bruising is gone, but I still have a hard knot on my leg over a month later. Not a major injury, but after the initial pain subsided I was most concerned with my camera and did I get the photo I wanted.

I vowed I would start watching where I was going when taking photos. It didn't last long.

@blightygal This series serious made me laugh

[Alex Dowding]

hanging the camera out of the passenger side window whilst driving at about 30mph



Thank god for camera straps is all I'll say

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

I put my back out 5 weeks ago bending down to get a good angle on a flower. It's still not right. To add insult to injury the shot was rubbish!

[Kimberly Mitchell]

OMG the answer to that question has to taking a 5 year old and 3 year old and some expensive camera equipment climbing around on these sharp and steep (and somehow slippery at the same time) volcanic rocks to get around in front of this waterfall. And also to find out that the tide had come in while wee were out there.

[Juliette Packham]

looks innocuous enough - but the run in with the security guard was fairly scary



Whilst this shot was OK the next few were as the jet force of the planes props basted us backwards - i didn't managed to capture takeoff!

[Kit Marsden]

I took this while driving through the Dartford Tunnel (in London - British 365 people will know where I mean!) very late at night. I think it was almost midnight, and I was travelling at 50mph, hanging my Nikon out of the driver's side window with one hand, and steering with the other.

I did manage not to drop the camera - which is very lucky, as it doesn't have any strap/harness type of thing!

[Sara]

I haven't done anything dangerous for my photography... just the occasional balancing act and it's not uncommon for me to end up dirtier than a toddler from me lying on the ground.

I guess this would be my most dangerous:



I was in my figure skating clothes, standing on a narrow log, surrounded by I don't know how deep dirty water, and several feet from solid ground.

[3nder]

@manek43509 O.O! Thatd be scary for me w/o having the strap.. Great shot tho!

@jannaellen Hahaha, the cow makes me laugh I cant imagine being chased by him xD

[Kalexa]

Getting up way too early, perching on the side of a steep hillside, alone in the dark waiting for the sun to come up. Then afterwards when leaving, running into a homeless man, on the adjacent lot and chatting with him politely while trying to back away from the nearby cliff. Thankfully he was harmless and I got my shot.
