Pictures of photographers

Taking candid pictures of other photographers doing there thing.. Fair game? or not the done thing?

Toothie · 27 Apr 2008

i would say fair game, surely?

Forbiddenbiker · 27 Apr 2008

What! its ok for photographers to shoot everyone, but not to be photographed themselves?

Of course not, don't be daft.

purpleclouds · 27 Apr 2008

Fair game!! I snapped a police photographer doing his thing at a demo in Manchester, only for him to turn his lens me on!

KIPAX · 27 Apr 2008

Its just a niggle at the back of my mind

tigerimages · 27 Apr 2008

Fair game I say!

Heh, yup one of my favourite hobbies, got loads of pointless pics of other togs.

Challenge yourself, see how close a close-up you can get without them noticing because they're so focused on the pic they're taking.

Me & Jimmy_Lemon always seem to end up with loads of pointless shots of people from the TP meets, usually from about 12 inches away using the 10-20 :bonk:

How else are we goig to get all the 'chimping' pics to laugh at?

Marcel · 27 Apr 2008

LOL definitely fair game.

I was videoed by a cameraman at a Flashmob in Manchester a week ago, it's on YouTube now lol:

When i'm working in clubs taking photos of people, there's ALWAYS drunk people running up to me saying 'OMG, LET ME TAKE A PHOTO OF YOU...LOL'. I don't really understand why they do it, I mean I get paid to go to clubs and take x amount of photos for a website, they are just random people on their night out...it's a bit strange really lol.

People also sometimes ask me if they can take a photo with my camera, and usualy I say no becuase they can't even stand up properly, let alone handle a £1,500 collection of kit

No Tony Its open season on any other togs for sure

Baz007 · 27 Apr 2008

Nice lens, Noah. As for taking candids of other Togs, why the hell not? Just don't take one of me, please

Natjag, who are all the togs! I don't mean by name, i'm guessing by the stuff on the floor they're pap guys? Or photojournalists??

Jimmy_Lemon · 27 Apr 2008

Trying to get a chain is more fun. A photographer photographing another photographer.

Best I have managed so far:

DiddyDave · 27 Apr 2008
