When I'm at an event and I see people posing for a snapshot, I sometimes shoot their subject from my angle as an educational exercise.
This one had the bonus of a third photographer in the frame.

It's confusing: A photographer shoots a photographer and a different photographer's subjects without shooting the third photographer?
Do any of these people have a snapshot of me?

good job Keith, I like how they are all lined and looking the other way.........it is interesting Wink
Their photo will look pretty good with a backdrop of a dust cart.Big Grin
Interresting. You get a little information on what type of photographer the one is that's taking the posed shot.

You're probably on a surveillance video somewhere.
Very interesting... I think Dad is the photographer of the group.

And I suspect the camera being wielded by the lady in blue/white is a 20D with a 17-85 IS lens on it. Big Grin

Most railfan photographers are men, and they drag their family along when something like this old steamer come to visit.
But I bet he was poking around looking for cool detail shots when his wife insisted on the group photo.
I would have been happy to help them out so dad could also be in the frame, but he never asked.

And I was waiting for someone to ID the camera...thanks.


This kind of discussion is why I take photos like this.
There are many things that we as photographers can notice when 'photographers at work' is the subject of a photo, and I find it fascinating.

I have more, but I would also be interested in seeing someone else try their hand at this.
Maybe it would make a good Assignment?
