My friend is doing an ad for a gun shop he asked me to help. So I got to do some strobist fun. I actually fell of a stool and fell through 6 folding chars that were setup behind me when trying to get a directly above product shot… I did not care about my self I tried to not let the camera hit anything… It was ok however im hurting..
