- 21st April 2005 - Snapper Snapped

Stopped at the Manchester Airport viewing area on the way back from a networking meeting.
No-use trying to snap the aircraft taking off really,



so got a few more of Concorde http://www.pbase.com/troonly/concorde



(sits still on the ground), and then did a few candids (shock horror, but yes I
managed a few :)) of the 'snappers'. This gent had a most impressive Canon set-up,
(I know size isn't everything, but......) and his website on his jacket, so please visit
and check out his shots (www.mintphotography.co.uk). I didn't speak to him as he
seemed pretty busy!


Must change that camera clock!

I like the subtlety of this one with just the hint of a monster lens and the plane there as well. Great stuff

I always like the perspective of shooting a painter or photgrapher doing his thing. Quite engages the viewer and makes the overall image even more interesting.

excellent shot!

Very nice ... :)

He can probably see the passengers with that kit !

I thought you were sitting on his shoulder Ian. The blur of everything else is great.
David Clunas21-Apr-2005 22:54
thought you'd just upgraded your kit Ian!

One almost feels you're seeing things as this man does. Nice work.
Ian Clowes21-Apr-2005 20:08
No, not close, had the camera pretty well zoomed.... :)

You must have been really close to this guy.
Gives a nice feel for what it's like to be in his shoes.

The mintyness!
Nice shot, you're always at meetings! :-o

Equipment isn't everything, but he has a nice setup, I like your shot, with the plane in the background and his huge lens visible in front of him.
