Photography bad for your health????
I have just given myself a nose bleed
How? and what has this to do with photography.
Well, I have bought a new light tent, as my other one met an accident with some blackcurrant juice, (thanks kids
)
It arrives this morning, and in my eagerness to see my new purchase, I had a complete brain fart, and forgot, it is
a) collapsible
b) coiled up ready to spring out!
So, eager beaver me has it way too close to my face, and unzips the bag, it is in, coiled up in a nice circle, I pull the material , and yep, it pops up into a big square, smack onto my nose
No, I didn't bleed on the light tent, that would of been the final kick in the teeth. So feeling a bit stupid and sore
Anybody else been hurt by photographic equipment???

with tears in my eyes

Oh! poor Suzi hope a coffee and a few painkillers will ease the situation, and of course, you have the new toy to play with.
Only problem I have is backing into trees, falling over dogs and plants because eye is glued to view finder but not to date drawn blood, as to equipment I am always pinching my fingers in the tripods, you'd think I'd learn but I don't.

Ouch @ Moon, Tommy, and Sam !
Although we want to see pics Moon!!
Great shot Tommy - I'd say it was worth it
I think the only thing I have done is bang my head whilst trying to compose a shot and not noticing I am close to some object

LOL there is nothing to see Azz, no bruise or anything, just a bit sore if you touch it.
Tommy, I have to agree with Azz, it was worth the cut head, as that shot is great!
