| ->> I think that lens is still in development. |

| ->> Is it a double ring, or a push/pull? |

| ->> Fortunately, I've never been assigned a shooting spot with such a restrictive view of the "play"... |

| ->> That football player is a jerk. If that happened to me, I'd make sure he regretted getting in my face like that! |

| ->> I agree Jody... no matter who this guy is, he is definitely a jerk. He would feel my lens right between his legs with "apologizing" oops sorry didn't see you after that. |

| ->> I guess I'm confused. How is the football player being a jerk? It appears to me that the photographer is looking for a "unique" angle and shooting wide while the player signs autographs. In fact, it appear the football player is being very cooperative by allowing the shooter to shoot from there. |

->> I think Brian is right. It's not like the player sprinted to trap the photographer in that position. If you look at the photo and the photographer's shoulder you can extrapolate that his/her head is somewhere around the players navel not his crotch.
I just have to believe that the photographer would have had more than ample time to move if they objected to the positioning. More likely as Brian says, just looking for something different that puts the fans and the players in the same frame. |

->> Good lord, haven't we all made this frame? Low angle, loose-ish shot on hands reaching out holding hats, jerseys or balls (no pun intended) for the player's signature??
I posted this photo to my Facebook page a while back 'cause I thought it was funny as hell. The player's not doing anything wrong, and neither is the shooter. I just thought it amusing that I've made that frame countless times before, but never thought about how *wrong* it may have looked from the other side.
Leave it to the Internet to find the humor in anything ... and leave it to some of you guys to take the fun out of everything.

Notice the white lens...Canon shooter. ;D |
