Don't Be THAT Guy Next Time You Go Out To Shoot

Before I left Prague this morning, I went to the Charles Bridge at sunrise. I was pissed to see this gaggle of photographers acting as if they owned the bridge. The reason for the post is to gently remind each other to be a bit more aware of the impact and impression we leave as photographers. Jake would have been proud as I briefly walked in front of them to take my shot. :eek:

Why would you want to take the same picture as everyone else? To me it's all about unique angles and perspectives, I don't want to duplicate everyone else's pictures.

Lol! I can't speak for @BackdoorHippie but I sure am proud of you! ;) Now I wonder how many photos of you will show up in their Facebook time lines! :applouse:

Maybe I don't understand what you're saying. Are you mad because there are others who want to take a sunrise shot on that bridge?

Sorry if I was unclear. I was angry at the attitude. They were blocking other people from walking across the bridge and if they stopped to take a picture - especially casual non-DSLR users - they were b*tching about how they were ruining their view. You should have seen how pissed they were when a cop car drove across and made them scatter. LOL

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought there might be something more to it. I probably would have said, "Excuse me ! I won't be long. Only need one shot";)

I find such people everywhere I go.Sunrises , Sunsets and Birding.
I always think these are the crazy ones(in a bad way).mostly wanting to post on FB or something.No respect to others around or even the wildlife.

Europe has a completely different mindset on personal space and their right to make theirs wherever they want it. Not sure why I got singled out. ;)
