[QUOTE="Peter7100, post: 795923, member: 48633"] I am sure many of us have been in a situation where we have gone that extra step to obtain a desired shot. In the majority of cases we have probably not thought too much about the potential risks involved, but we should assess first if it safe to do so. A few years ago, a photographer who was obviously unware of his location (pic below), took a step backwards and fell through the gap in the old pier. It is a very popular location with photographers who often frequent the area at sunset making it potentially even more dangerous as the light fades. The person in question amazingly survived, however I heard he sustained serious injuries from landing on the rocks below. So next time you are out with your camera, think safety first, photography second! [IMG]https://nikonites.com/gallery/files/4/8/6/3/3/blog_2.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
