I am hooked on shooting other people in the act of shooting. Here is a shot from tonight at a fund raising event/art show where I captured a news photog from a local paper in action (yes, with an evil DSLR and monstrously-long lens; my shots are with an M8, 2.8 28 asph elmarit):

And one of lady shooting her friend at Sacre Coeur in Montmartre, Paris:

Do others share this interest in photographer photographers? Post yours.

Pretty cool shots you have there. I never see anyone out shooting when I'm out, but maybe I will in the near future...
 
Didn't think I really had any of this kind of shots in my collection but actually found quite a few... here is one.

I am actually cheating here in as much as this was shot with a Nikon D200 and a 180mm f2.8 AF - a bokeh king if ever there was a bokeh king. I love the way this lens shmooshes out the colors and detail in the background when shot wide open. This photo also deomnstrates one of the disadvantages of shooting with primes (although I love them) I just did not have time even to take a couple of paces backwards to get a better composition and even though I knew the image composition would not be perfect I just had to go for it.

The fellows with albums and black strap bags are photographers. For 1 yuan, they will shoot and give a post-card sized print. Printed in the portable printers kept inside their black bags.

Shot with my Zeiss Taxona. Not the best of pics, but I was at the same time trying to balance two heavy grocery bags on my bike. The photographer actually mouthed "cool camera" right after I took the pic. :)
