I'm really tired of people (parents) who have no respect for people with cameras at places like zoos and I'm in no doubt other people are too.
I spent 40 minutes waiting at chester zoo for their Sunda Gharial (crocodilian) to come out of it's hiding space to get a photo of it...
For a bunch of parents who had been there 5 minutes at the most to shove their children to the front of the glass ( and in front of me and my camera) the second it emerged... despite the fact they knew I had been there 40 minutes waiting as they talked to us... and they could see me trying to take a photo of it....
followed by a couple with an ipad sitting in front of it (and me) to get a selfie...
and a woman who pushed herself smack bang in front of me and my camera to bend over and look at it...
Which meant I waited 40 minutes to get a photo of it...only to have to photoshop reflections of people out of the glass.. of the pictures I managed to get without the actual people in it..
Are we invisible ? or apparantley because we have a camera and not an ipad we're not allowed to have an unobstructed view of things ?
Since when does having children give you a right to push in front of a good old british que?
If it wasn't for one grandparent, grabbing the children (and parents) and forcibly moving them a few steps back, stating "Let's let this lady get a photo" I wouldn't have anything at all
Rant over.
