A photographer has learned a painful lesson on not sitting too close to an amateur golfer's tee shot after the celebrity "athlete" shanked his swing and sent the ball right into the sitting photographer. It was all caught on camera.
A surprise proposal on the Brooklyn Bridge went viral this past weekend, but not for the reasons you might think. The photographer on hand to capture the special moment kind of upstaged the couple when he got run over by a cyclist just as the bride-to-be was about to say "yes."
Ouch. A video posted by the Instagram account @cinematogr shows what can happen when you risk yourself (and your camera) to capture intense action sports shots. Sometimes, you get run over.
If you ever need to set your camera down temporarily, make sure you choose a safe place with as little gravitational potential energy as possible. It seems one photographer learned this lesson the hard way and paid a dear price.
A champion skier wiped out and slammed into a group of photographers during the women's giant slalom yesterday at the 2018 Winter Olympics. The scary incident was caught by both broadcast cameras and the photographers' own cameras.
Photographer Canonjon of São Paulo, Brazil, shared this photo that represents "£12.5K worth of ouch." It shows a $13,000 Sony 500mm f/4 G SSM lens that fell and shattered on the ground.
A home security camera has captured the cringe-inducing way a $500 camera lens was delivered to an Amazon customer in Indiana. As you can see in the 30-second video above, the delivery man couldn't be bothered to take a few extra steps and bend over.
A woman at a public event in Beloeil, Quebec, was injured earlier this month when a DJI Phantom 3 camera drone dropped out of the sky and smashed directly into her head. The incident was caught on camera by another drone in the sky and can be seen in the 8 second video above.
Here's a strange occupational hazard for certain sports photographers: getting hit by a shot putter. That's what happened to one photographer at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Track and Field Championships in Portland, Oregon.

Canon is currently running a special promotion in which photographers purchasing gear through authorized dealers will receive a free 13 months of CarePAK priority service and accident insurance (which protects from accidents such as careless drops and spills).
To promote CarePAK coverage of its products, B&H recently published the video above that shows careless and unlucky photographers having their gear damaged and destroyed in all kinds of painful ways.
While diving for a catch at the back of end zone during today's game against Kansas State, Oklahoma wide receiver Sterling Shepard landed on something not-so-soft, but oh-so-very-expensive on the sideline: what looks to be a Canon 1DX attached to either a 400mm f/2.8L or a 500mm f/4L.
Shepard, we're happy to report, is okay. The lens... she's gone.
