Neat picture, too bad you couldnt catch it with a train moving through

I havent really put myself in danger to get a shot, aside from maybe leaning too far over railings.

**cool1** · 12-15-2006, 02:26 PM

After seeing this shot, for me the viewer, it was worth you taking the risk, so I could see it the way you saw it.

Excellent Picture, my new desktop.

**xerex** · 12-15-2006, 02:28 PM

**abyss_al** · 12-15-2006, 02:33 PM

You think that was dangerous? Wait until we have a tornado bearing down on us and you say, "just one more shot."

I can't wait.

Nice shot...glad you're okay.

That photo project you mentioned, "Redneck Wives in Heat", sounded pretty dangerous...

**micker** · 12-15-2006, 04:42 PM

spanish guardia national in san sebastian... their hats might look silly but they are mean mother fuckers if they see you taking pictures of them clubbing basque protest kids...

**abyss_al** · 12-15-2006, 04:49 PM

if this was taken last night, this might have been one of the geminid meteors, they were visible last night

**gandalfuy** · 12-15-2006, 05:44 PM

looks really nice,
yeah, a train passing throw, would have been too much :P

**cj_purve** · 12-15-2006, 06:07 PM

great pics!! yes its totally worth it ;-)

I've stood out in lightning with metal tripods many times and I love chasing storms ... there's something addictive about capturing an exact moment in time and storing it.

I took heaps like this on an old nikon cool pix a few years ago because I didn't want my good camera to get wet LOL

The most dangerous thing I ever did however was a few months ago ... I dropped a switched on lamp in a bath while shooting a model - who was in the bath ... which was full of water. But at least the video camera was running the whole time ;-)

**Wiredoctor** · 12-15-2006, 06:11 PM

Cool Pic

**Dagwolf** · 12-15-2006, 07:20 PM

Damned good shot, but if you die there won't be any more... Take every reasonable precaution when you're pulling a stunt like that.

**DaddyHalbucks** · 12-15-2006, 07:36 PM

Cool pic, but your life is worth more, Bro.

**Wiggles** · 12-15-2006, 08:51 PM

Here is on pic from me:

**Zuss** · 12-16-2006, 04:39 AM

Neat picture, too bad you couldnt catch it with a train moving through

I disagree. A train would have destroyed the frightening atmosphere of total loneliness.

**Sosa** · 12-16-2006, 05:37 AM

love your pics

**justinsain** · 12-16-2006, 09:57 AM

I shoot a lot of extreme sports and two main rules to follow are never interfere with your subject and keep yourself safe. To get that great shot the photographer has to take some risk and as with bravery, there is a fine line between calculated and foolishness.

The thrill of extreme photography is being right in the middle of the action and the reward is the lasting images you've created. Above all you need to give yourself the chance to shoot another day.

Several years ago I took this shot from the beach of a helicopter and offshore powerboat during a race in Miami. I was amazed at the photographer and couldn't even imagine what he was experiencing. A few years later I found myself riding in that very same helicopter with the opportunity to photograph the 1984 Offshore Powerboat World Championship in Key West.

I'd have to say that was one of the most thrilling things I've ever done. I was put in a safety harness so I could move around and I did step out and stand on the skid like the photographer I'd seen but that turned out to be no good as the wind at 150 mph was too strong and made it hard to hold the camera steady. It also didn't give you any better of an angle so it was much better to sit inside the copter. After doing it myself I figured out the other photographer was only doing it for the thrill or for the show. Either way it was amazing flying along side of the boats and I don't think anyone had a better view. That's extreme photography.

**pornguy** · 12-16-2006, 10:36 AM

Great photos.
Thanks for sharing.

**Cyndalie** · 12-16-2006, 10:42 AM

You should submit a few to National Geographic with the story and about where it was shot. They love to publish this stuff. Capturing photograph.

**garce** · 12-16-2006, 10:43 AM

Nice pics. Thanks for the new desktop!
