|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Chase commerical Photog Michael L. Palmieri, Photographer Barnegat | NJ | USA | Posted: 5:17 PM on 10.29.11 ->> I'm watching college football from the comfort of my couch today, and I just saw a very comical commercial for some credit card from Chase. The person in the commercial is a "sports photographer" and the images in the ad show him "at work." It's very cheesy but it's an entertaining view of how the world thinks of what we do. Pay attention and look out for this commercial -- it's a laugh.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I love the guys not reacting at all to the player going out of bounds until one guy gets pummeled. And trust me, if a press motorcycle got that close to the cyclists in le Tour the press bike would be ordered out of the peloton.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I will have to pay more attention to it now. I believe it is for Chase savings.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

At least not current/viable EOS equipment. Hard to tell for sure but it looks like the subject of the commercial was using EOS stuff but the guy next to him who gets taken out appears to be using an old FD 500/4.5L on a manual focus film body. It was still 'L' lens abuse though.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
