Yesterday was a dismal shooting day... I could not make a good photo if my life depended on it. On the way home I sat sort of across from this other photographer that was making pictures left and right, not sure if they were any good or not, but he was busy snapping away. I was using my D300 with a 24mm 2.8 prime lens. I believe the settings were ISO 400 at 80th of a second. I waited for the train to stop moving so I could get a clear shot. I admired that fact that he didn't have a care in the world if people noticed him photographing them, of which people did notice, and no one said anything. His camera Nikon D3s with a 24-70 2.8 lens.
Who's going to say anything to a guy with such a big rig? :-)
ReplyDeleteNice shot, looks like about f4? (Just kidding, I peeked at your exif info...)
I like the reactions of the people around him too - including you.
Also, I think England is one of those places where people just don't want to say anything. Most people pretend not to notice things, rather than creating a situation. Afraid of their own voices. Unless alcohol is involved, in which case people seem to become quite vocal. LOL
ReplyDeleteSeeing as you're a son of New York, do you agree? Do you think English are too timid at times? I'm always interested to know what people think of us.
Hey Bill,
ReplyDeleteI think you are right, English people tend to be a little timid. Now being a New Yorker I tend to speak up pretty easily ... and I am sure The English people must look at me and think look at this jerk. Im getting better =)
