Quote - Nothing as exciting as bullets or gators but last year I climbed into a cave to shoot an 80ft waterfall.The cave was narrow and claustrophobic.I suddenly heard a roar that sounded like masses of rushing water and thought "Oh shit I am in big trouble" but it was a jet plane roaring past out side the cave.Any of you that know the lake district in Cumbria UK well will be aware that the RAF use this area to practice low flowing over the lakes and mountains and the roar from the engines is at times quite deafening.Made me think why do us guys and girls put ourselves thru this kind of experience for the sake of a photo.

Can be pretty impressive when you're high up on the peaks and you can see the planes flying below you in the valleys. 

Most dangerous thing I've done was when out climbing in the Ardeche valley, my friend who was on the cliff face spotted an interesting looking lizard and asked if I (still on the ground) would pass my camera to him. He was only about 10 feet up so I just free climbed up. The lizard moved so we gave chase across the cliff and I suddenly realised after getting a reasonable shot that I was still free climbing but was now about 85 feet up and not protected in any way :(. 

It was 20 feet of easy climbing to the top, but it was the most nervous scary climb I've ever done. After all that when I developed the photo's they weren't that good anyway :(
