Do you know the difference between a ship and a small child?

Toerag 1: "Look at that bloke over there with the camera"

Toerag 2: "Oi you - F*** Off"

Toerag 1: "Yeah, you F***in' paedophile, just F*** Off"

Doubting that my powers of debate would extend to persuading their tiny little minds that a scrapped ex car ferry was not the same thing as a small child, I decided to retreat.

Sigh
 
erm... phone, dial 999, hello, i'm being assaulted! The more we walk away the more they assume guilt. Failing that, carrying a few free tickets for the Jeremy Kyle show normally helps win these neanderthals over... :D

I know - and I'm not particularly happy. But I was on my own and it wasn't exactly buzzing with other people around and about.

Self preservation, really - at one point they were threatening to come after me, so I wasn't going to hang around to find out.

One word:

******s
 
Just some of the local 'low life' looking for a fight, +1 to what Marky said. Is this out at Speke?

One of the reasons I carry a very old but hefty solid monopod with me... ;)

I do understand your actions though, as not all of us are brave or stupid enough to take on these idiots.
 
2 weeks of 12 hour stints of breaking rocks for being disrespectful in my book of law.... vote me in at the next general election you know it makes sense. ;)

Yes - Garston Coastal Reserve - behind the Matchworks. Within 10 minutes of where I live, its one of my favourite places (usually). I've posted pics taken there before on here and on my flickr a/c.

Thanks for other comments too.

I'll be back - I wanted to get some shots on the boat itself. But that will have to wait. It wasn't a good day for photos anyway - the sky was really flat - hence the aggressive PP of the above.
 
its typical of the little toerags, and as much as i am for standing up for your rights there not worth taking on on your own they were problely carring knifes :(

PS i like the pic :)
 
Well if you ever want another tog to come a long, drop me a pm. I'm south Liverpool as well (just off Sefton park). Nearest I've been round those parts is Speke Hall, but that boat looks like it might have 'interesting' shots in it.
 
Little ****s. Not really anything you can do in that instance. Its horrible but for some reason now, despite photography being that thing that allows them to see a naked girl on their favourite teen porn site, they just have to have a go. ******* are just to dumb to realise that photography isn't going away.

Was thinking the same. I know Matchworks but I had no idea there was a cool random boat behind it.

So that will be the Three Men and a Boat meet then will it? :D

LL - there's an invoice in the post for a new keyboard - mine's got red wine all over it now. :clap:

Guys - that's an excellent idea. I'd definitely be up for a meet down there. Its not just the boat, there are other good subjects too - do a search for "Garston" on here and you'll find some examples.

It really is a fantastic little park / reserve. Driving out of town towards the airport, turn right just after the Matchworks and there's a car park at the end of the road.

I've got a busy week coming up, but I'll pm you both in a while.
 
As long as the boat is legal n all. Can't be photographing no under-age rusted boats now can we.

lol! Quite :D

Real shame. People like that are too stupid to see the other side of the story. they think by making comments like that they are making the world a better place: being able to recognise the bad in the world. I love, and hate, the irony that is so obviouse; that they are the true downfall and are unable to see it.

People like that should be taken to a pacific island and silently shot

I dissagree. The should be shot loudly and in plain sight. Really send the message home to other retards of the same thought process. :D
 
Unfortunately every village has its idiots. I know what you are saying about safety and that is paramount but dont let them win, looks a very interesting place, you need 2 or 3 of you to go back down there and take some shots, go as a gang, its what they do to intimidate people.

Indeed, but you can guarantee you will not be bothered if there are more than 1 of you because these people (I use the term loosely) are basically cowards.

MV - Were there even any children there? :thinking:

or even go and if you know 2 or 3 teenagers take them with you, practical?:thinking:, and let them tell the others to "go away"
 
Sad state of affairs.

I agree with Woodsy. They should be shot loudly and in plain sight.

Good argument about photography being the medium by which they can buy their latest FHM or whatever.
 
Can I ask how old you are fella?

This is one of those type of things that's annoying, and out of order, but yet happens. Little Barstewards.

It's one of the reasons i'm confident to get my camera out in a public place, because due to the fact i'm only 19, I still look young, so chances are that nobody will randomly say anything to me.

I'm not saying that because i'm only 19, i'm immune (spelling) to random abuse by scumbags, or chavs etc, but by being younger, people tend not to bother.

If there was 2 people, 2 exact locations and 2 exact times of day, only difference being 1 was aged 20, and one was aged 40, you could put money on the fact that if anything was going to be said, it'd be to the older person.

It's a sad, sad thing, but it happens.

But then again, it can work the opposite way round. So I guess it's swings and roundabouts.

Fair play to you fella, i'd have probably left aswell if they were threatening me. Not because i'm a coward, as i'm sure you're not, but for the fact of being on my own & being smart enough to leave before it got worse. Last thing you want is to be set-about-on by a load of little arsewipes with nobody in sight & are on your own.

I agree I am 24 (and female) and I have never had a problem with taking pics. It's sad but true.

I would have left as well because I AM a coward :lol:

That's the same for me. People look at me strangely, but I don't give a toss.

However, as far as random abuse goes, the youngsters get it worse than anyone.
If I see a group of little sheeee-ites coming towards me, I look straight through them, but it's likely I'll get some verbal abuse.
I've only ever been attacked once, and luckily I was with one of my hench mates who soon made quick work of him :D
