Photography ABOUT Photographers

The following is a series of funny and unusual situations in which photographers (and their gear) find themselves, in search for that all-around perfect shot. Heavy equipment, crazy set-ups, impossible positions, hostile public, cars and elements - and the list goes on. I remember going on some extreme photo hunts myself, the satisfaction of obtaining the best possible picture - we're sure you had similar experiences. Send us your most interesting photography adventure... like some of the hilarious ones in this gallery:

Illustration to one of the "blonde" jokes?



Most of the images came from Russian & Chinese Photography forums, such as Alexey Trunov's compilation on Penta-Club.ru and from CameraUnion (China). Other were hunted down from the web or through emails, without definite attribution info. For such pictures we ask the viewers to let us know who the original photographers are, so that we could include this information.
