Taken From the Denver post
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
A 47-year-old local resident fell to his death trying to take a picture along Lookout Mountain Road this afternoon, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department. The man was with others about 4 p.m. when he stepped over the guard rail to snap the photo and fell about 60 feet. He was dead by the time rescuers arrived.
Taken from the sun
AN amateur photographer was swept to his death over a 70ft waterfall after he slipped while taking a picture.
David Heron, 58, and wife Linda were enjoying a lunchtime stroll when he stopped at a viewing point near High Force waterfall, which is England's highest. But as David prepared to take a photo he lost his footing and tumbled into the fast-flowing River Tees. Passers-by tried to reach him but the current was too strong and he was carried over the edge. By the time they got to David at the bottom of the waterfall he was dead
Health and safety issues
Be fully prepared for a days shooting
Take plenty of water and food
Take a mobile phone or walkie talkie fully charged with pack up battery for extra safety
Take a good map of the area you are photographing
Make sure you bring extra clothing in case you get stranded
Wear good footwear
Always tell someone where you are going
Outdoor photography
When taking photos on mountains or hills there is a bigger risk to personal safety
Take a companion its always safer to have a company in case you get into danger
Dress properly
Trainers might look cool and be light to walk in butt for a safer option use a fell boot or walking boot these will have allot better grip and will have better ankle support and will keep your foot dryer if you step in a wet bog or stream
A walking boot will give your foot better protection and grip
Trainers are not as safe
Temperatures can fall rapidly with height , and wind and rain increase , carrying a quality weatherproof jacket and a insulating fleece can cope with the worst weather.
There are many waterproof and fleeces to choose from to keep you safe from the weather
Prepare for the unexpected
A good weather report is invaluable
But if the weather appears to be deteriorating it probably better to be safe then sorry so go back if it safe to do so
Carrying a torch can be a life saver
you never know you could get lost or stranded then night fall will come
A wind up torch could be a life saver
Avoid dehydration
Water is heavy so its temping to leave it or just take a small bottle
But walking long distances with equipment can result in you sweating more and losing more fluids so its always safer to take more water than you need
If you have run out of water it is normally safe to drink water from a stream if it is above 800 meters
however its even safer to use sterilising tablets or a sterilising pump to clean the water you are about to drink
Also carry enough food for the length of the outing you have in mind .
More accidents happen from descending its to do with fatigue and because we are facing away from the hill rather than towards it so always take extra care if you are coming down from a hill or mountain
Health and safety is important in photography you must be always aware of the risks to you and the subject you are photographing.
