The crazy photographer I ran into...

7 years 10 months ago #483423 by ThatNikonGuy
There was a incredible sunset going on yesterday and there were a number of other photographers with tripods out along this road to get the shot.  So I decided to pull over and set up.  I was 15' away from another photographer and no sooner did I get set up.  He came over frantically yelling at me.  "This is my spot"  "This is my spot".  Now, mind you, this guy had his camera set up 15' away from where I was.   And there was a string of photographers on the other side of him.

I would have set up my tripod, and took a picture of him.  I'd then tell him I was just documenting him using his spot.  Then hug him.

I don't need to "act" crazy...;)
Actually, I'd have either ignored the dolt, or told him one more word and he'd be spitting some teeth. I'm getting less patient with stupidity the older I get.....

Why so serious?

Is that common? I haven't encountered someone doing that yet, and I hope I don't either!
