Laughing camera

I've gotten other shots like this, but this was perhaps the closest the ball has

come where I got it in the picture, just before almost getting creamed. Do

other people have sports photos that elicit a smile, especially where

interaction with the photographer is part of the "joke"? I'd like to see them,

unretouched - no sharpening, cropping, nothing.

 

Also, can anyone tell me if there is something else I must do to get my pictures

to post here, other than keep them under 100K and 512 pixels wide? I scaled

this one smaller than I would have liked just to get it up there (I hope).

Alex, add a caption and the photo will come up as the thread loads.We had a photographer shooting a Diamondbacks game that took a foul ball into the front of his lens during a game, he was a Black and blue mess for a week or do.

Also, think the limit is 511 wide.

Thanks, Mike. I'll try it right now.

 

I've been whacked by balls and feet while taking pictures, but I typically don't get a picture of the event about to happen. This ball barely missed me, but I got the shot a split second before it whizzed by.<div></div>

I'm afraid I don't have it anymore, but I used to have one that was pretty funny. I set up my

tripod as somewhere to hang my bags and stuff during the game, and rest my camera on

during half time. So I set it up, blah blah blah, get into things, end up on the other side of

the court.

 

About 5 minutes later I get a picture where the ref is crashing into my tripod and falling

over in the background. He got really pissed at me and told me to leave. We got into an

argument about me not being a player so he can't do fuck all. He kept being an asshole so

I held up my camera and fired the flash like 3 feet from his face, and got chased out of the

gym.

 

No gear was harmed during this escapade.
