The Shooter and the Model.

When we visited the Butterfly House inside the San Antonio Zoo, we came across this two young ladies doing a photo shoot. I immediately saw the idea of taking a shot of the lady photographer while she take some shots of the model and this is what I came up with. I think the model knew that I was taking some stolen shots but I guess she didn't mind. :)

    Great shot and the conversion works really well. I love horning in on other people's shots like this. Here's one of mine.

    Think of it as recycling. :D I love it when it happens, and I've gotten some great shots that way.

    No Jiro...not scavengers....you are a Voyeur...creepy?, yes...sometimes...lol....but aren't we all when we have a camera in our hand? mwink.gif

    I have to admit...when I take walks, I like to look at the houses and I love when the curtains are open, I love to see how people decorate their homes...and...lol-naturally- I keep my curtains closed! LMBO

    Thanks, Richard. What I like about doing this kind of stuff is that I can walk around and look at some other possible angles that the actual photographer might have missed to see. :D

    I agree with that, I'm not a pro photographer...but I also see missed oppertunites all the time. Just be careful the other photographer doesnt chase you down and try to smash your camera! did you slip the model your card, in case she your likes shot better? It is a great shot!

    Well, they are on a public space so I don't think she has the right to do that. Besides, Does a guy with an old, beat up Nikon D70 and a cheap 18-70mm kit lens be a threat to a lady photographer with a 24-70mm f2.8 lens on a Canon 5D Mk II DSLR? I don't think so. Hahaha!

    The art is not in the equipement, but in the person who holds the equipment! you could have a mickey mouse camera that runs on 3 AA batteries and still know when a great shot is happening! lol
    I would like to show you a photo I took at my brothers wedding, while the paid photographer missed it...and I was using a point and shoot crap bucket that was no more then 89 bucks...but I dont want to hijack your thread! lol
