Pro at Work

Photos are extracted from internet emails. Captions are created by yours truly, KC. Looking at these photographers, at times, I could imagine that I also go that extra mile to capture that precious moment with a choiced angle that yield a spetacular effect.

AHHHH … who stepped on my toes?!
.

Dare to be different ... to the photographer who is not in the lorry. What a well-designed lorry to overcome the problem of vision being blocked by another photographer. Could it be the lorry is transporting portion of the bench (from stadium) and they just conveniently sit on it?

For those photographers who take photos of GT Queens at Japan GT at Sepang F1 Circuit, all are standing on flat ground. The photographers in front would block the view behind.
.
The designer of this multiple launching pad could be getting the idea from the Patriot Missile Launcher. However, he needs a master controller for managing the five cameras. Otherwise, it is like cooking Claypot Chicken rice that the photographer has to inspect each camera, one at a time.
.


Aisey... even the lenses were neatly arranged in a straight line. Take note of how the photographer stores the spare lens at the left most of the picture. How they could hold the heavy lenses with ease? Each lens is mounted on to a mono-pole instead of the normal tripod.
.
How could the girl photographer still be smiling? She could be carrying about 40 kg of cameras. My photography friend, Shukri, could tell me by looking at the size of lenses: the larger lens is 600 mm (in focal length), one 500 mm, one 300 and another one is 200 mm lenses. The cameras are Canon brand with the famous white barrel body lenses.
.
I read in one report that there is a lady photographer who went to a poor village in Africa to take photos. When she was surrounded by the locals wanted to rob her, she point her bazooka lens at them. The fled the hell outa there thinking that it was a huge gun. With the well informed robbers here, the first thing they take away is the huge and expansive lens.
