had this happen to me at a show jumping event I went to so I could take some shots of a friends daughter. Guy came up and did the exact same thing, moaning about how he paid to get in the ring and how it was his bread and butter. I told if that was the case then why did he not learn to hold his camera correctly lol 5mins later the owners of the place came up to me and gave me abuse. Best just to inform these people politely how stupid they are acting.
I went along to a local horse show last weekend to get some practice in at the showjumping ring. I parked in the car park next to the ring and was actually perfectly placed to get 2 jumps photographed so i snapped away ...... no pro togger in sight.
10 minutes later she came over to me and had a real moan that i shouldnt be there as she was the only photographer allowed to be ther (even though she had 4 rings to cover and only her with a camera anyway ??) and she would be making her way over to shoot the showjumping after her cup of tea
I politely explained that I was not selling shots as she was and was just practicing to work my new camera and not treading on her toes at all, but she seemed really riled :bang: I decided not to get upset and shrug it off, took a few more snaps before the rain came then decided to leave it.
What would you have done ? It made me feel really uncomfortable when she kept glaring at me after she got funny with me
(As a by the way, Ive just come across her website - she was shooting towards the sun & shooting the jumps with poor backgrounds)
