Quite a few years ago my dad was taking a shot like that and some guy walked right in the view, so he basically shouted and told him what he thought. Only turned out to be one of my school teachers
Step 2) Sharp elbow.... to his head as I "accidentially" bring my camera to my eye for my shot.
Step 3) Damn.... my monopod was extended when I turned around..... heheheheehehe. And you thought the 3 Stooges were the only slapstick in the neighbourhood!
If its a girl like Pamela Anderson I would tell her after she gave me her backthat now its time to give me the front now to shoot her double air bags!!And actually I wont bother much if she obstructs the F18.
.... very interesting thread Royal

Hey royal
I can do better then that
We have some photogs here in Sydney that know the crowd but only talk to a select few they walk right past some of us and never utter a word.
That i think is the ultimate of rudeness to fellow photogs .
Cheers
.... change my shot and move into his image for a close up!
Or, more often, I just say something along the lines of "oh, don't mind me"! It usually provokes a response like "oh, really sorry, didn't see you there". To which I normally think "blind b*******d"!!!

Depends on the situation really. If the guy could blatantly see you were taking a shot and just walked into your line of fire then it would annoy me but I doubt I'd say anything to their face. IMO it's best to keep things chilled and not go mouthing off at people even if they did something to annoy me.
If you were on a mound or whatever and someone moved to pick up their bag or something like than and got in your shot by accident then no worries. Anyone can do it by mistake.
It's a hobby for the vast majority of us however seriously you take it.

Failing doesn’t make you a failure. Giving up and refusing to try again does!
25 Eadster: Never had the problem at airports, but at airshows and other events like car racing and car shows, people just love to stand in front of me and/or who
26 Monteycarlos: Heck yeah... Avalon was a friggin' nightmare. I steer clear of shots at Airshows for that one reason. That and some clowns just don't know the meanin
27 Clickhappy: some fellow did that in one of Andy Martin's C-17 shots Ah yes, the infamous Moses Lake trip. Funny you brought that up, we were having a laugh about
28 HAWK21M: Speak to the Guy.Maybe it was Unintentional. regds MEL
29 Sluger020889: haha I'd step in front of his shot, turn my head and ask "Sucks doesn't it?" That or I'd take a mono pod and poke the back of his locked knee....down
30 StevenL: One thing that drives me nuts is when people stop to wait for me to take the picture. When I take a picture I'm waiting for them to walk through befor
31 Fergulmcc: You could always tell him that you don't have a lens wide enough to get all of his butt in, and would he mind moving. Come to think of it the widest o
33 Philb: I say "Thank you very much" and "I appreciate your shot is far more important than mine, so go ahead". Most people are so embarrassed they move. Even
34 Silver1SWA: The worst for me is when shooting on vacation in high touristy locations. Sure, when that many people are present, it's going to be hard to get a clea
35 TedTAce: It's not like I lose anything by having to re-take the shot.
36 CalgaryBill: At least they didn't hand you the camera and ask you to take a pic of them together... then start re-doing their makeup! B
37 777MechSys: Royal, Tell the rest of the story. You know where you rolled him for his gear. Apparently this asshat had put a D200 strap on his antique D100. What a
38 Clickhappy: Mostly Quantaray if I remember correctly. So yeah, pretty nice.
41 Skidmarks: You've never been to Fairford then Royal? That is one place where patience is more a rarity then a virtue!! Not content with putting blue and whitte
42 Flybhx: Funny thing about Fairford is that the photographers I hear whining about Joe Public being in their shot are people standing 500 yds from the subject
43 Skidmarks: Sometimes you are right. However, for some aircraft "getting in closer" isn't an option and, despite it being obvious you are trying to take a pictur
44 Kereru: They can be a problem at times and I usually wait or move in front if they take too long. No problem last time I was shooting if anyone had walked in
45 Dacman: I find Tasers work really well at getting their attention..........................hehehehehehehehehe. Michael (Dacman) LAX / LGB Local
46 INNflight: ...imagine the extras that dude closer to the shore taking his shot had...... talk about shooting for the personal collection
