[vwlover94]

The dragger perfered Canon ;)

[jailbird111]

[cjpaulchris]

[OrangeYouth69]

Hey Guy, you can have that cheaper and with pictures. I destroyed my 60 Euro cam under a Tram still filming. But beautiful pictures from the dragstrip.

[Edinwildlifetog]

Ouch!

[PC4TW]

0:40 -perfect ; )

clap clap clap clap good djob

[foamuno]

Damn I wanna be a photographer in the US......!

[nicktheman2324]

this is why i stick with wildlife and landscape

[ESPsandEmgs]

@nicktheman2324

I think I would rather take my chances with a Dragster that to be eaten by a bear :)

[lonewolfsx29]

I can't believe the manfrotto arm wasn't damaged. Too bad the final shots from the camera were crappy, if you could pull this off again you should do something sick with the 14-24 haha. Except it'd cost you another body... so please don't haha.

[Johnnycwb]

I'm crying :(

[musicmentalwebsite]

@guyrhodes good point :)

[musicmentalwebsite]

So sad to get your prized possesion shreded by a drag racer but I know that a d700 is not worth $11000 so description is a bit wrong but what a nightmare did the driver get done?

[guyrhodes]

@musicmentalwebsite You forgot to factor in the destroyed 400mm 2.8 lens that was attached to that D700.

[XxcoomiekidxX]

@musicmentalwebsite i think he said the lense and stuff was like 6k

[Mar2623]

so no money shot 

[Spaeckli]

if he can accomplish a fuckin corvette he can acomplisch a new lens and camera xD

[chitsujoo]

It hurts :( But the pictures are amazing :)

[jerrytoddphotography]

Was the memory card saved??? Cause if so, you prob got some "once in a lifetime" pics!

[guyrhodes]

@jerrytoddphotography The card was recovered, but because the 400mm has such a narrow field of view, the last frame of the dragster was simply an out-of-focus head on view of the car far down the track. Hardly "once in a lifetime".

[KushPizzaSleep]

@guyrhodes  this is what insurance is for moron.

[hackerpaj]

i feel bad for the driver ^^

[tumblingwall]

Never thought I'd see someone use a Corvette for hauling your work equipment with.

He probably goes through cameras like toothbrushes.

[TechnoTechnoBurger]

That poor lens

[V2SkiLLz0R]

That's just sad!

[diegocrossi]

con el coche que tiene no tendrá mucho reparo en comprar una nueva, para mi es una lastima, pobre camara!!! :(((((

[rasco5]

@diegocrossi jaja, si...seria mas lastima si tuviera un neon!!

[Arpon001]

Y...¿quién pago por la camara y todo lo demás?, me imagino que el fotografo trabaja para alguna compañia, revista, sitio web, etc... más de 10 mil dolares en perdidas, no manchen con eso me compro un carro, una videocamara y una nikon D90. He has the full cover? xD.

[dhslstudio]

Se fosse canon o cara num teria perdido o controle do carro!! e se perdesse a canon se garantiria!! kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[ajoderseee]

Canon mas variedad de lentes (por poquito) y algo mas de calidad en ellas. Nikon mejores cámaras en general, en especial en sector bajo/medio donde las cámaras canon tienen unos cuerpos de plastilina.

[vozboliviana]

Nikon manda, Canon basura

[wwwelfarerocom]

the price of the glory

[bred2k6]

I take it he was insured.

[bigflitzer]

The ability to switch to Canon...*gg

[Arael1985]

OMG!!!

[fotografgruppen]

Wonder what the guy in the dragster would feel....;)

[verbod]

Nikon crap

[mwingaa]

Oh dear, had it only been a Canon cam that was destroyed it wouldn't have been so bad ;)

[Velodynamic]

Where's the memory card?

[JamesHolden]

good call on using Ghosts for the music!

[RainStyle967]

fucking hell, look at his car. no wonder he's not pissed.

[UnorthodoxMethod]

Not the end of the world assuming the the gear was insured, but definately not a nice thing to happen.

[acidfly1]

I know that guy, He was a big fag in the Navy, Also said some black lady wanted to buy her own bus.

[Bjatta]

Big Fail for no money

[AwesomeHaHaAnime]

He has a corvette, I stopped the pity after that Haha. He most likely had insurance, so... still a tragedy for an awesome camera.

[heuykiller]

@AwesomeHaHaAnime Haha, me too

[1vamp1093]

Check out the decal on the nose and bug catcher at 0:39 FUG at the angle it is in that time frame looks like "FCG" "F*** the Camera GUY"

[Neoklis128]

Ah man that sucks, great music though! Ghosts rules!

[clt1951]

OOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCHHHHH­H

[akhan727]

My hands were literally covering my mouth during the entire second half of the video. If that happened to me, I'd probably feel like crying! LOL

[tetleon]

OUCH! 

[KID7A]

Nine Inch Nails' Ghosts!!!! FTW!!

[ssfounder]

he's a rich guy, dont need to worry

[TigerOfSKy]

nine inch nails! ;-)

[vladojko2]

Luckily it was Nikon... It would be really pitty it this happened with Canon

[TheOriginalSinnerman]

@vladojko2 Nikon must have done something really bad to you. :-P

Nikon, Olympus, Pentax or Sony, good glass is good glass and it's a pity to see it get destroyed.

I'm not a Nikon user, BTW.

[Bullseye5477]

I hate it when that happens.

[delusionsabine]

Ouch!

[ktonlai]

a photographer who can afford a corvette? not too bad

[hcoll]

'Destroys 11,000 worth of gear. Shrugs at it and drives off in a Corvette'. *sigh*, so jealous.

[Dizzi800]

@hcoll it was most likey insured, so he probably did not lose any, or a whole lot, of money.

[hcoll]

@Dizzi800 I know. I was referring to the fact that he could afford all that in the first place.

[gromann]

I love how he didnt get pissed like a jackass over something that was an accident and just kinda sighed and said "damnit"

[yazkaz]

If you are a pro you'll have to expect this kind of accident to happen at any time.

Hope Mark has insured all his equipment......

[kennytheshark1]

man, he doesn't even care! could give me $11,000 instead! :O

[mikesly5]

@kennytheshark1 when you do that kinda work you have a insurance that will cover it all. o yea and that was an unmaned camera for a reason. just incase something like that happened

[Sokra81]

Manfrotto gear is indestructible :p

I bet the rest was insured though

[chetoflep]

suuuuucks

[BmastaBerdley]

This guy takes absolutely incredible racing photos

[ckhfilms]

Good commercial for Manfrotto gear! Sad news though

[ortmaniac]

i'd still smile too about damaged equipment worth 11.000$ - especially if i'd drive a corvette ;-)

[shadowblack1987]

@ortmaniac Pretty sure his gear is more expensive than his little vette...

[12809inthetubes]

@shadowblack1987 Pro gear is expensive, but 60 grand for a lens, tripod and body? Maybe if it were a Leika . . .

[beatsiz]

@12809inthetubes You're being ripped off because it's Leica not Leika.

[12809inthetubes]

@beatsiz THE GUY I MET IN AN ALLEYWAY THROUGH CRAIGSLIST SAID IT WAS AUTHENTIC!!! HE EVEN HAD A SPECIAL POCKET IN HIS TRENCHCOAT FOR IT!!!! DAMMMMMMMIT!!!!!11

lol

[mccordia]

Did the camera capture the shot though!?

[huyked]

@mccordia Take a look at the bottom of this link for those photos
