A second with the gymnastics and disaster struck! Just as we were ready to start, one of the coaches dragged a mat across the cables, pulling the light down. Ouch! It was setup for the rings so they were pretty high up, 3m maybe. And the light came crashing down from that height. My heart dropped about the same height too. The damage? A cracked light, but thankfully still working and a semi-circular reflector. The reflector was really soft, which is probably a good thing: it cushioned the impact and made it easier to bend back to shape. Here’s what they look like:

The imperfect one on the left, after some work on it

The cracked light

I’ll probably have to send the light in to have it checked out, else, it’ll gaffer tape all the way.

Here’re a few prep shots:

This is the angle I decided to shoot from
