Viewfinder the moment before impact

[Timmyjoe]

I know this happens in other areas besides sports, so I thought it might be fun to share images we've shot the moment before the subject of our image came crashing into us.

Last night, high school game, thought I was far enough back from the sideline. NOT!

Haha, I like this topic. This bird just missed me…I was shooting with a 24mm!

OK... I'll assume near-misses are OK.

I like this!

Nothing to contribute myself.

Great snaps!

Near-Misses are okay.

Again, Friday night High School Football, this time about three years ago. Was tracking the player with the black helmet as the ball was overthrown. Was so focused on the player I lost track of the ball, until OUCH!!!
