that camara man had that camaara up to face about half a second after the car hits

a true pro!

Talk about lucky!!!DANG!!!

With his back to that barrier you can't see the dark brown stains on his jeans that run down to the ground.

You don't see a wet spot in front either

Best part is that he calmly picks the camera up right after it hits... happens all the time.

When I used to shoot action or cover races for the magazine I had to learn to shoot with my other eye open.. between 1/8 buggies whizzing past your head and your face gets tired of scrunching all day taking pics.

so the next question is who can identify the car? i think its a triumph TR7 i am pretty sure there was a v8 version from this side of the pond

Maybe, but I don't think so!

Are you not on the good side of the pond now? All the scum tends to drift East!

well that would explain the driving

That dude looked pretty relaxed after being that close to getting ran over.

Sometimes I don't think photographers realize the danger they are close to, or even recognize how close they are to the action. I shot this last July, and though I was behind a concrete barrier, the end result of this "off" was that the car rolled to a stop about 10 feet from where I was standing, pointed right at me. I never took my index finger off of the trigger and have the entire sequence of shots of the entire overshoot of T5 at Road America.



After the whole thing happened, I thought, "eh, wasn't THAT close." LOL.



It was.

Must have been using a Nikon.

This is why I like shooting weddings...although I was almost run over by a drunken fat girl at a reception once.
