"This is the terrifying moment a British photographer cheated death as an out-of-control drag racing car careered towards him out of control."

Oh yes, the Daily Mail.

How is it balls when he had no way of knowing that dragster could have very easily hopped the barrier and crushed him and his camera with the pictures on it?

I repeat...he continued to take pictures in a situation where the car could have very well smeared himself and his camera all over the pavement, nullifying the only two things he apparently lives for. If he died he would have been up for a Darwin award and you guys would all be calling him an idiot.

Stupidity + luck.

Guts or Balls...

There is a medical distinction. We've all heard about people having guts or balls, but do you really know the difference between them?

In an effort to keep you informed, the definitions are listed below:

GUTS - Is arriving home late after a night out with the boys, Being met by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to ask: ''Are you still cleaning, or are you flying somewhere?''

BALLS - Is coming home late after a night out with the boys, smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife on the arse and having the balls to say: ''You're next, fatty.'

I think I can agree with stupidity.

Instinct in a situation like that is to get the hell out of the way. Fight or flight. Well, you're not gonna fight the dragster, so your only other instinct is flight. Granted from what I saw, he only had approx 3 seconds to react, but move your ass!!!!

Watch the video from about 18 seconds to about 21 seconds, you can see two guys to the far left of the video getting the hell out of the way. One is wearing blue, and you can see someone behind him reacting as well. You can also see the guy who got the shot, move only a split second before the car hits the wall. Oh well, I guess no one was hurt, that's the main thing.

Stupidity.

With that lens and the shot being so close the resulting photo would be blurred.

And what can you expect from being 3 feet away from something going 250mph

He doesnt have a high speed camera, for what he got is fucking awesome... that picture could be WAY worse, and the focus is on the concrete chips flying which is WAY cooler than the focus of the camera... shit the focus on the concrete and the blur of the car gives the person looking at the picture the idea of motion
