Dunno whether it is simply fatigue and cannot think or is just my obsession to get the best shots, whenever I have a shot in mind I just dun care about anything else, and really stupid and sometimes dangerous things happen.
Wanted to do a top down shot of a netball player shooting the hoop today. I saw that shot once on a photograph the day before and just nice a photographer was doing the same shot from a ladder today. I was so eager to get on top of the ladder and shoot that I forgot the simple fact that I HAVE A PHOBIA OF HEIGHTS! It's only when i was halfway up that wobbly ladder when I suddenly remembered and I got SOOO SCARED. If anyone put his hand on my legs then he could definitely feel them trembling. I couldn't get all the way to the top and just had to make do with that height. Whenever the player makes the shot. I could swear that the ball can almost hit me and i feel I could just wobble, fall and die! All the time up there, my mind is just "oh my god! oh my god! OH MY GOD!!!!!!" I couldn't feel my body and I can feel I'm going to loosen my grip and my camera is going to drop! Luckily in the end nothing happened and I got down looking quite calm, but trembling like hell inside.
Later in the evening I wanted to shoot a rugger kicking the ball from the field. After doing a wide shot i wanted to do a real low angle closeup with the player and the ball in shot. So I put my camera on the grass about 50cm from the ball, knelt beside the camera and ask him to kick the ball. He gives me a wierd look and say " You want me to kick the ball over the camera?" Without thinking, and quite impatiently, I said " Yes Yes of course!"
So he took a few steps forward and kicked hard. Then I felt a gust of wind and mud and grass on the right side of my face. It never occured to me that his kicking leg will raise so high that it misses my head by bare centimetres. I was stunned, he was stunned. It was about 2 seconds before I managed to say, "oh my god...." Nevertheless it's still one of the best shots of that crappy shoot day.
I love my job.
