    I fail to see the humor in this but ...



    Good Morning Everyone!

    I thought I'd share this little story since everyone (but me) seems to find it funny and I have always lived my life with the philosophy that if I can make at least one person laugh, my day is complete!

    My office is right next to a heavily wooded area so yesterday, I brought my gear to work to take bird pictures during lunch. As I stood at the edge of our yard in front of the line of treesI hear rustling above my head and as I lift my 100-400mm lens to take a photo, a bird decides he DOES NOT want his photo taken and does quite a number right on the top of my head! Two seconds later, and it would have been on my nose instead but as I stood there, wanting nothing more than to take back the last 5 seconds of my life ...I stared at the office door NOT wanting to go back in there! [+o(]

    Sure enough, my boss and the rest of the engineers (I work with all guys)found this hilarious and I have earned a new nickname amongst them ...$hi+head! [:$]

    Anyone know if Adorama sells photographer helmets!?

    Have a great day and have fun shooting!!

    That is horrible luck and I can imagine how it would be entertaining for your coworkers. I think a self portrait would be needed to bring us the joy that your coworkers experienced.


    I hope you were able to get sufficiently cleaned up to finish the day at work in comfort.

    hahahahahahah, im laughing with you! because i've had a similar thing happen to me.


    couple years ago i was on a first date with a lovely lady walking downtown victoria, b.c where i live and theres these planters hung above the sidewalks in certain parts of the city.


    all of the sudden i feel that cold SPLAT on my head, i was so confused at first but then realized i had been hit lol. I was so embarrassed but it kinda made the date go easier cause of the humour.


    death from above watch out! hahaha

    If you had a pic of this it would probably have been posted in the "Post your best bird shots!" thread! []


    And yes it does happen... sadly to me as well (not on my head luckily though)

    Thank you so much for resurrecting this thread, Craig! Appreciate it &lt;tough in cheek&gt;!
    Yes, I guess now that you mention it, It could have been worse than landing on my head!
    Can you imagine if I ever wanted to sell my 100-400mm (which will never happen) ...the ad would read "Only pooped on once"! [:P]

    I am definitely more cautious (and paranoid now)! BTW - Did you ever get a second date w/ her!?
