"Stories left behind the scenes"

Hello Steemit!

Today I came up with an interesting idea, I want to share with you some of the special events that sometimes take place in photo sessions or in preparation for them. Sometimes they are dangerous, sometimes fateful, and some even crazy! In general, judge for yourself:

1. "Insidious foam"

Once, a girl from us ordered a photo session on a dam. We went there together with Andrei, so that he would train on the second photo camera, which we loaned a landmark for a couple of days. It was early spring and all the water was surrounded by a thick, thick foam. I myself was at the top of the dam, and Andrew was below.

The model had a 5-meter net cloth, which Andrei began to correct and did not notice how he stepped over the edge of the plate ... and went under the water! Then I was very frightened, because the depth is actually not that small. The river could drag him under the slabs, and since I was high and far, I would not have had time to help. But he managed to quickly surface and get to the land, after which he froze and fell ill. But was successfully cured! :D

2. "Unexpectedly"

Once, I, Andrei, my friend Nastya and her husband Artem, went to the Gonba for a photo shoot based on the fairy tale "Wild Swans." Leaving the bus, we went along a country road surrounded by fields, we found 3 kittens in a cellophane bag.

We were so shocked that immediately canceled the photo session, took the kittens and went, to us with Andrew home. It happened very not at the right time, because After 4 days we had to leave for a booked holiday in the mountains, but we could not leave the kittens at home unattended = / Somehow we managed to find a temporary overexposure from a kind woman who already had about 30 cats in a one-room apartment, but she was the only one who volunteered to help us. She also cured them, fed them with better fodder and pierced them with vitamins, for which we are infinitely grateful to her!

During our absence, they grew up, grew stronger and changed. We did not see the red-haired kitten, because the good people quickly took him to his house. Gray with red ears and tail turned into a snow-white cat with all the same red ears and tail, and he also managed to find a house :)

We took the girl to our house, it is completely white. The truth from her ... 40% of happiness and 60% of punishment :D Now she is very harmful and constantly chewing and breaking everything that only sees. For us, this is a little uncommon, since other cats have been very clever since childhood and never spoiled anything. But this cat can not be re-educated yet But we still love her))

3. Well, very responsible))

Last fall we had planned a commercial photo session, behind the old city bridge. In place, we arrived with a large folding table, a chair and painted pumpkins. Although we were 5 minutes late, the model was not there. We waited another half an hour, but it was not even online on the social network and I did not know the phone number. Being upset we were already beginning to get ready to go home ... as I looked in the phone and saw that it was ... Thursday! A photo shoot should be on Friday :D

I do not even know how it happened, because I watched the date still at home and for some reason it seemed to me that it was already Friday) In order not to go several times with the props, we decided to hide everything in the bushes, and after returning the next day, we held a photo session) True, we were exposed to heavy rain, and the day before this was such a great weather))

4. Law enforcement agencies do not slumber!

This story still does not give me peace))

While searching for a new place for filming, I suggested that Andrei go to the area of fields where my family once owned one farm. Having passed gardening, we went to the country road, walked and enjoyed the moment. Somewhere in the middle of the unknown, far away from the signs of civilization, along the road surrounded by buckwheat ... an ordinary car was driving and suddenly stopped. But we still decided to go further, because it was too far to go back.

When we started to pass the car, two big men came out of it, showed something at the speed of light and demanded that we show the documents and want to conduct a search. To say that I was shocked was to say nothing.

After that, we found an "interesting" plant and guessed that they were looking for "fun gardeners"))) But, what do you think, what could be the real reason for what happened?)

And this story still has to happen ...))

I have two such huge black smoke bombs, which in theory should simulate forest fires for training, hmm .. rescuers, I do not remember exactly. But while I still do not dare to apply them, especially when the emergency mode is entered. Ideally, I would like to use them in winter photo shoots, on some hill in the city and in the Altai Republic in the mountains, but there often fly forest protection aircraft, and I'm a little afraid)

In any case, when we use them ... I feel there will be trouble: D First, they blaze with fire from both sides, and secondly, smoke so much that can really be confused with a large-scale fire. We are even afraid to keep them at home))
