W/NW Fear

[lynnb]

Have you ever been scared - really scared - taking a photo? Or have you photographed fear?

Share your most fearful, scariest photos here. I'll kick it off with a few photos I took today of storm waves. Not taken with a RF, but looking through the viewfinder scared me silly when I realised I was stuck on a rock with nowhere to run!

This liitle guy wasn't looking too fearful until I actually pressed the shutter of the P67!

And I meant to mention Lynn that we have an extrordinary amount of recreational fishermen swept off rocks and drowned every year in this country ... you'd know this of course.

How many photographers I wonder?

Keith, what is the little critter? He/she looks like an escapee from a school classroom.

That's a mountain brushtail possum. He was having a nap in an old shed on the top part of the property I live on when I discovered him. His expression when I actually fired the shutter of the big Pentax was priceless ... more disbelief than fear I think!

I have noted that he's never used that location for R and R again!

this guy seemed worried about something....

I am not sure if this dude is looking fearful. Or is it pensive, worried or just thoughtful? Whichever - its always been one of my own favourites from amongst my street photos. I like the way the grain and subdued colour adds something, somehow.

Fear ... that this may have once been a relative!

This dude at the gas station.

And my horrified reaction.

Great possum, Keith! We had a couple of ringtails on our internet cable the other night, but couldn't coax them down for some apple.

Not fear. Maybe just . . . being chicken.
