Shooting the Nikon D1X for National Geographic... http://65.110.81.28/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-6450-6561
Vooral deze passage vond 'k schitterend:
Back in the mid-1980s, he told the Geographic's editors, he was assigned by Sports Illustrated to do a story about the athleticism of fighter pilots. He was shooting from the back seat of an F-16 flown by the Thunderbirds, the U.S. Air Force's aerobatics team, when he dropped a film cartridge while changing rolls, and it fell beyond his reach. To the Air Force his film cartridge was now "FOD" - foreign object debris - and because debris can interfere with cockpit controls, it scrubs the mission. But McNally's pilot thought he'd try a trick. He rolled the F-16 inverted, and the cartridge fell onto the canopy above McNally's head where he could grab it, simultaneously ending the FOD condition and saving McNally's butt.
