I can understand that, just maybe, he was rooted to the spot with fear-but he carried on taking photos!!!!!!!

I'm definitely bailing out long before I could take any of these pics. |

I'm glad he both survived and got some cracking shots.

Think I'd have moved a bit sooner but then I'm in the orange brigade, not a photographer

Yeah its a close call. But the car is not doing 200mph though... and if you look at the youtube video in the daily mail link he does step back quite a bit, he just keeps his eye on the car and his camera on the action.
Job well done I say, Good show! Bryant's uncle perhaps? :P |

Been in a similar position a few times, its a case of when your 6th sense kicks in, and the fact you bend easier than the barrier or the car, means Id rather lower the camera and take a step back rather than risk myself for that 1 shot, it worked for this guy though, he remained calm and got the good shot as a result. Cant guarantee its going to happen like that every time though

That's why we'll never make sports photographers.
