Who said photography was easy. That is one heck of a brave photographer.

A Brit on holiday and once in a lifetime snaps :o 8-)  This was in the UK news last week, though the "close up" shots were not..$$$$$ and I don't blame him!


If you look closely, you can see that the car is in fact upside down, it is only the body shell that is the right way up :o

Has anyone actually congratulated him for getting such good shots considering the events?

He was brave and still managed to get some pretty good photos even in a near death experience. Top man!

Not sure he was being brave. More like stupid. In the short time I've been in the hobby I've seen photographers do some really stupid things for the sake of a picture. I almost got squashed flat by a big articulated truck when I rushed out in front of it to take this shot. http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/da-IMG_2078abnf.jpg

Fortunately the driver pulled up to watch it landing & saw the funny side of it.

He probably knows what war photographers like Robert Capa felt.  ;D
