lovely boiling hot day up in north wales ,and combined with a mega high tide I took myself off to a local spot where a long finger of land sticks right out into the estuary and plonked myself down waiting for any passing seabirds and swifts ,martins and swallows ,got a few shots in and my camera is not exactly on the small side being waved about ,when a pair of oversized ladies came along and stood right in front of me ,totally ignoring my presence and blocking my view apart from there oversized arses I kept my trap shut but the sheer ignorance of it makes me boil .grrrrrrrrrrrr

Oversized ladies.... ohhhhh yerrrrr real 'birds' - It's time you packed some Greggs pasties in your camera bag.... distraction technique......

Coffee pot bubbling
 
When on the Serengeti I went equipped for the long end, low and behold the action was all closer than I thought, No glass to match the environment, gutted! Same thing?:D
 
Or even.......

being an outspoken type I find it weird when someone moans on a forum instead of facing the problem as it happened.. that would have been playing at the back of your mind since it happened so why just not have got it done and dusted when it happened..

i,m not exactly renowned for keeping my trap shut mate ,but in this case i think i was to gobsmacked to say anything and as it would probably meant them staying longer it was easier to say nowt
 
"Excuse me, ladies but I've been trying to get a shot of that rat for ages and he's just disappeared. Be careful where you put your feet, you wouldn't want to hurt him, would you?" Should work wonders!
 
I would have put my wide angle lens on and started taking pics of their arses.
I'm sure they'd soon move.
 
Its more then possible they had;t seen you. So many people walk round in their ow little words. A simple Excuse Me might have been all they needed. Of course they may just have been pig ignorant

Were you wearing camouflage? :)
 
Why not move in front of them? Then continue shooting.
 
Are you saying you couldn't have moved a couple of feet to get your photographs?

I could of but I would have been in about ten foot of water ..think I explained in opening ,mega high tide ,long thin spit of land jutting out into the Dee estuary/ Irish Sea .and you also have to then take the angle of the sun into account didn't leave a lot of room for manoeuvre.
I was also waiting for house and sand martins to land on a bit of exposed mud which was on the other side of bum-bums

You kept your trap shut.
The error is yours.
 
'I have a harpoon' usually does the trick :)
 
I wouldn't have said anything either. You never know what will come from confrontation. They could have had two equally large husbands a few feet away. Not worth the hassle. Just wait till they move.
 
Hindsight helps. But next time, what to do?
You should do something about it, rather than nothing. The existence of this thread shows that.
You must start off polite.
An easy out is a simple "excuse me". Be clear what you want. Then say thanks.
Another option is to just say hi and begin chatting. It's nice here isn't it. Afterwards tell them what you are doing and it's much easier to get them to move.

Or carry a spade to bury the bodies.
