Ever done anything embarrassing while on a shoot?

Milla, you and I can be the "Klutz Bunch" Last Friday after shooting a playoff football game, I came out of the gate in a hurry to get a 20x30 print for one of the players. I stepped off the curb, catching my heel on the edge of said curb, falling flat on my face on the concrete. I could really laugh " NOW " except it hurts my sore ribs too much. My 50D and my 24/70 2.8 L, is at Canon getting fixed.

OUCH!!!!!! Thats brutal!!!!!!

I think the most embarrassing thing for me was falling into sewer water while changing angles.

hahaha great story! if i were you maybe i would've done the same thing.. hahaha. i wouldn't say "one more" tho, lol

you had a 1D while you're a noob?

I originally had a 40D and then saw a very good deal on a used 1D MarkII, so I bought it and sold my 40D.

Hope this is not too off-subject.

Just read Houston Smith's autobiography. He mentioned filming an interview of the Zen master D.T. Suzuki during the 1960s. After a couple of hours, the cameraman realized that he had forgotten to put film in the camera. They had to do the interview again.

A few times I've taken shots for the "Campus Voice" section of the newspaper - I take portraits. Sometimes the camera goes wobbly on me - the LCD screen flickers and it just goes dead - and I have to unscrew the grip really fast or take the battery out and it's just awkward.

Probably the most directly embarrassing moment was when the zoom ring on the 17-55mm broke and I didn't have a backup lens at all. I sat there for a few minutes trying to make it work. In the end I had to pull out my SX110 and take the shot.

About three weeks after I had knee surgery, I was doing a studio shoot. The model was getting into makeup and my assistant and I were changing the backdrop for the next setup. The assistant was having trouble with the backdrop stand on her side. As I was crossing the studio to help her, my kneed gave out and I fell flat on my face, with my other knee taking the brunt of the fall. The model, MUA and my assistant were all horrified, but I was fine. I was very embarrassing though

I don't know if this counts or not, but I was at San Antonio's SeaWorld during the summer heat. I was carrying virtually all my gear and it was just unbearable. So, I rented a baby stroller, and used that to tote my gear. I got some funny looks. I knew I should probably have been embarrassed but it was just too hot to tote all that gear.

I was doing real estate photography and, while trying to get a wider angle of the back of the house, I backed up a little too far and fell directly into the pool!

A bride ask me to be sure a shoot her from her good side. I said "not to worry the pictures won't show you're pregnant". She was just joking about shooting her good side. If that wasn't bad enough, Dad didn't know she was pregnant.

The only thing worse is to say "not to worry the pictures won't show you're pregnant" when she isn't.

Guys, don't ever assume that unless you're actually present at the birth.

The brides Dad, don't think he spent a lot of time at home.

The members of my club think it's a miracle if I don't do something embarrassing on an outing...
