I kind of go by the rule of the sea - always give way to bigger boats. In those situations I get people glancing off me, trying to talk to me, sometimes shouting at me but I'm in my own little world with one eye closed - hey leave me alone, I'm watching TV :) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Media Photogs iPhone Users
My opinion is that if the Pro set up in a position to get himself aced by an amateur, he isn't much of a pro. The attitude of entitlement reflected by both the author and the, and I can't stress this enough, a**hole, who berated the guy with the iPhone is one of the reasons that Newspapers are dying. News photography is hard, if you can't produce images when needed you don't deserve the job. If I was the a**hole's editor I;d be looking for the guy who got the picture to buy it from him, and maybe offer him a job. Finally where cell phone guy, though in truth the headline lies, slinks off, Ultimately, it was clear he didn't really need the pictures. got his shot. Maybe he just didn't think he needed to stick around to be berated afterwords. Photographers are not a protected class, nor should they be, if they can't do their jobs they should look for another. The author keeps stressing that he's not being condescending, yet it drips off of every word. Sorry for mixing the Ironic quotes, with actual quotes but in this case is there really any difference.

The author keeps stressing that he's not being condescending, yet it drips off of every word. Again, a +1 from me. The article can be summed up in four words: sometimes, people are inconsiderate. This isn't news. And in my experience, the general public are no better (and no worse) then those who are being paid to provide pictures. I've worked on both sides of the (literal) fence. While shootimg from a public area can be challenging for exactly the reasons detailed in the article - you can't rely on the folks in front of you staying in their seats and/or keeping their arms out of your view - I've also had people who've been staking out a prime spot for hours shuffle up to let me get close to the rail for a better viewpoint. In counterpoint, I've had the same problems when shooting from the areas restricted to those with media passes - somebody paid to get the shot can often forget that there are other people there with the same intentions, or just assume that their needs outweigh those of everybody else. We can't have a free-for-all, of course - sometimes it's necessary to limit the number of photographers in a dangerous area (in my case, trackside at a motorsports event). But if there isn't an area set aside for media coverage you just have to work with what you can find, warts and all. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
