The Photographer

Oh it’s brilliant! I love it Paul. It really does go well with the poem! Will link back to you now :))) So glad you posted this!

Fantastic capture, love the full stretch dedication of the photographer…and the expressions of others in the frame…

Kristy’s poem is truly inspirational….

Great B&W Paul…

Thanks so much moosedesigns!

Hey there MissKrissty!!!
Thanks so much!! :D:D:D

OMG! this is awesome!!!!

Thanks heaps LisaG!! :D

Oh ho ho my God… I can sympathize with this girl so much!!! You wouldn’t believe how many times I had to do that when taking pictures of people in dance clubs!

And photographers can be really interesting to capture… mainly when you look at all the positions we get ourselves into in order to get the shot we want.

props to you for capturing an image that speaks directly to my heart, Paul! love it!

LOL! Thank you very much Hermosa! :D

Fantastic comments!!! Thanks so much DoctorJPhoto!!

This poor lady has my empathy… at 5’3” I have to wear steel cap boots in crowds to avoid getting stomped on. Well captured Paul!! It looks like our Kristy has been the inspiration of many with her poem… not unsurprising ;)

your welcome, Paul!

lol the stories i could tell, just from this photo alone… i used to have some real tense moments when the people dancing in the clubs would accidentally knock the lens cap out of my hands, or knock into the lens itself :O

ever try to find a lens cap in the middle of a crowded and active dance floor? its a total nightmare….

that girl and i are kindered spirits, truly…

Spot on Rhana!! Her words are awesome!!
5’3” hey? I’m only a foot taller than you Rhana!!! That’s nothing!! LOL!!!

very cool, i love how the subject is out of focus and it’s all on the single photographer trying to get that perfect shot

LOL!! Good on ya Doc!!
I haven’t lost a lens cap but i did place a lens in my pocket which contained melted chocolate!!! Please don’t tell everyone!

Oooops!!

Thank you so very much Jess!! :D

“when you look at all the positions we get ourselves into in order to get the shot we want.”

SO TRUE DOCTOR J!!!

I was climbing amongst slippery slimey rocks yesterday, practising my lumberjack skills moving dead tree limbs and a couple not so dead (oops!) trying to get photo’s of the waterfall at the bottom of my steps that I posted today. My jeans ended up covered in muck, I have bruises on my bum from where I fell over (several times) and I am pretty sure I dislocated a couple of vertebrae in my neck for one particular shot!

LOL!!
You go girl!! Good on ya Rhana, that’s the true spirit of a photgrapher right there!! :D

LOL… I should not laugh Bella but I see it….

What about me, I don’t take the photos, I just follow the photographer, break into places, scale walls I can’t…and get very dirty at times too…

hmmmm might have to think about that…

Oh ! Ive done that heaps of times lol I also have a great image of other photgraphers taking photos but not sure they would want me to post it = nice shot Paul.

Thanks so much LisaG and Christine! :D

Ha ha…great shot of a shot taker….voyeuristic tendencies hey Paul: D

LOL!!
Only when there is another camera involved! hehehe :p!
Thanks Jewd! :D

Now you havew to tell me what P at the end means..not too much alpabet in one day…LOL

Now you havew to tell me what P at the end means..not too much alpabet in one day…LOL

Thats a very cool shot, Paul!!!

LOL!! ok Jewd.. the ;p means “tongue in cheek” humour and it’s meant to represent a face with a tongue poking out and a wink!

Thank you Mel!! :D

OOOO such a cool image, great for that poem! Well done Paul!!!

Okay, thanks for todays lesson…gotta fly…take care….ciao

haha the capturer becomes the captor..

i love shots like this!! so unaware!

Paul, great take on both the theme and the capture. Along with the poem, nice bit of reportage. BB

great shot. Supports my theory that all photographers need to be 6’ 6” tall (min.)! My wife, gothgirl is 5’ 2” Hmmmmmm

Charlesruns for cover now

Great capture – love how you saw this… wonderful eye!

Great capture. Looks great in black and white.

Thanks so very much Paul and Sylvia! :D

Excellent shot and poem to go with it. Strange though, I do this type of random/hopeful/chance your luck sort of shot at festivals and such like. With the advent of digital (and the noble art of chimping) it can become an acquired taste :-)

Thanks Wickerman, you’re spot on about it becoming an acquired taste but what in the world is “Chimping”? Is it the same as “gorillaring” or “Orangatanging” ‘cause i’m really good at those!! hehehe! ;p

Fantastic capture – love it!

Thank you kindly berndt2! :D

’’great’‘

Thanks heaps mick! :D
