One of my buddies on the sideline of Friday night's game wanted to check out this lens, so I took this shot of him. Of course I had this thread in mind.

This picture came thru on an email the other day. I certainly am not taking credit for it, but I thought it was cute. Hopefully it's not already in here.

I thought of this thread tonight when I was out doing some landscape shooting, so I got out my P&S and got a couple shots of my setup in action:

Something I noticed about some of these shots at sporting events is that everyone always clumps together. I know that all large events have limitations on where a photographer can stand, but at smaller events, why?

If all the photographers are together, how many different shots can they all take? Why pay so many people to be there when the media companies can collectivly hire one or two to do the job of 20?

Whenever I go out to a sporting event and I see another photographer, I usually run as far away as I can (usually the other side of the court/field). Does this make me weird or look stuck-up?

Bob...it's something I do, too. I'm not a pro at all. Used to make money with photos, but not now.

Anyway, I just tend to be away so as to get 'my own' shots. If I join others, I just feel I'm using their work in setting up the shot they want. I don't want to copy, so to speak.

Not stuck up, not being unfriendly, just want to do my own work, so to speak, not use somebody else's location that they planned.

Chuck.

You might needlessly be giving up good shots in an effort to avoid other photographers. I'll give you my 2-cents. Pros (and anyone else in the quest for good shots) will try to be where ever they need to be to get certain shots. Depending on the sport, there are certain positions that yield certain shots. Pay close attention sometime to where the Pros are... chances are they are not there by accident.

Also, you might have 10 photographers shooting for 10 different publications. So yes, they may all be getting similar shots but they are being used for different things. Check out the finish lines of races or big track meets sometime, dozens of photographers all shooting the same angle.

I'm an amateur but I shoot at a lot of events covered by Pros. While I have my own strategies for field sports I always keep an eye open to where other photographers are as they sometimes have new/better ideas. And I never hesitate to go plop down right next to them --- nor do they about plopping down next to me. :-)

My position for field sports is 90% driven by the position of the Sun.

I do watch very close what the newspaper photographers are doing when I am out shooting. I figure they know what they are doing.

On my shoot above, the one guy using the (white) L lens is from the local daily paper. I am not sure who the other guy is but he seemed to know the newspaper guy and they chatted a lot. I was near them some of the time and on the other side some of the time. I didn't want my "newbieness" to get in their way.

I hope that "Christmas Tree" guy stays in public places. I imagine it's quite tempting to "some" people to hit him over the head and walk away with a fortune. oo-oo-ee.

It's like fishing - if folks see one person getting a bite, they'll congragate around hoping to get one too!

Yep, that happens a lot. Lets say im at a "touristy" location and ppl see me with my setup, immediately at least 4 or 5 digi cam users are standing behind/beside me attempting to get the same composition. Its funny though because often I will have a prime and I "literally" need to be at this spot to get the composition the way I want it to be. They do not realize that. lol

maybe i should have started a new thread...

I know that there are certain spots in certain events that are good, but when I'm out on the campus quad shooting for the fun of it and all of a sudden there are three or four other people there shooting the exact same corner of a square building... it's just really annoying, especially when some of them get out tripods and interlock their legs in mine...*groan*. did i mention the quad is an acre slab of concrete and some weather-beaten trees? all the buildings look alike, can't they find another one?
