Photography Projects Gone Wrong
Got me thinking, what are some disasters or near disasters that you've encountered while trying to set up a shot? Most people on this forum seem cautious enough to not actively play with fire, but I figure there's got to be some good stories here. My stories mostly involve me getting injured in an effort to protect my equipment. I was walking along a rocky coast to get some pictures and tripped. I sacrificed my body to save the camera and ended up with skinned knees, a blood elbow, and a huge bruise on my arm. The camera survived without a scratch.
I've thankfully never caused damage to another person or another person's property. I've certainly never caught a field on fire.

I'd be upset too if I looked down and discovered I was shooting film.
