He Pulled Out His Big Gun Today

For the latest people challenge. I don't think of myself as a people photographer- but I do like to take photos of photographers taking photos!
Oh my word. i can not imagine hauling that around ! You got a fabulous shot for the challenge though!

Great entry for the challenge! What was he shooting?
October 2nd, 2022  
great image - what a hefty lens - my shoulder cringed hahaha
October 2nd, 2022  
Wow, that sure is a lens and a half!
October 2nd, 2022  
A nice street shot
October 2nd, 2022  
Good street capture
October 2nd, 2022  
wow
October 2nd, 2022  
That's done serious kit. Whatever he is photographing, he really wants to be up close and personal with.
October 2nd, 2022  
Great shot of the shooter, I doubt that I could that that!
October 2nd, 2022  
He did, didn't he! Nice photo of the photographer.

Thank you Katy, Laura, Annie, Kathy, Dawn, Dorre, Katrina, Sally, Diana, Issi, Joan, Harry and Marilyn!

He was photographing an outdoor concert- obviously for the band since that was all he seemed to be focused on. I did have one shot of him and the band but since I was trying to bring out that BIG lens in the shot, the broader view made it "shrink". I'll probably post a band shot sometime in the next day or two. They were good and very entertaining. My shots, however, won't be as amazing as his- I only had my point and shoot because like most of you I could never lug something that big around now!

That’s a great photo of a photographer!
October 2nd, 2022  
I've always wondered how photographers can hold those lenses still. That's a cannon!

@carole_sandford @randystreat
Thank you Carole!
Thank you Kathy! Yes, and he was firing away!

And his hands don't shake. I think it has good lens stabilization. But I would use a monopod. I often watch photographers at work and with a monopod it works great for them.

@haskar Thank you Hannah! I'm not sure carrying around a mono, or tripod, would have worked at this festival. But yes, sometimes they are the extra stabilization you need. He seemed to handle this just fine, but I would definitely need help- if I could carry something this heavy!

A great find and capture. I hope he got some good shots.

@wendyfrost I'm sure he did- he seemed very professional. Thanks Wendy!
