The Sumo Photographer

Pangkor Island, Malaysia

I can't help but to notice this guy for his body frame. We were at the other side of the shore, where the Hornbills were resting to have their meal that evening. I was at the end shooting the birds while he was seated opposite me with his camera. Check out his belly. I think he might have overeaten last night's buffet dinner.

Nikon D80 ,Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6g IF-ED AF-S DX VR
1/30s f/5.6 at 105.0mm iso100 full exif

perfect to make a "pose B" shot!!

though I imagine it has to be a great problem having all those extra kilos I recognize it is a funny image. I always said I prefere fix lenses because the zooms make us go lazy trying to get the things come close to the camera and not us to get close to the subject we are photographing. In this case this wold fit the image of a person that uses a bit too much he's zoom. :)))
