I went to a flyday Saturday, it was great nice weather big crowd. I got there early to get a good spot in the shade there is a fire station facing the runway in the viewing area and between the doors are concrete dividers about a foot high so standing on one gives a view over the crowd, I had been there about 20 mins chatting with a nice man I met. When it was about time for the show to start a late arrival came steped up on the island in front of me and blocked the best shooting angle, i was so flabergasted I didn't know what to say so I just let it go not wanting to cause a disturbance. When I am in the front row I let kids stand in front of me so they can see better but this was an adult and a very inconsiderate and self centered one. I did get some nice shots I only lost 4 or 5 due to the interloper. I will not allow that to happen again  :makemyday:   :wtf:Ed

Very frustrating Ed. Have come across one or two like that. A sharp prod from the monopod perhaps, by accident of course!

That happened to me at my last flyover, Ed. Must be something about people looking up and ignoring what is around them. I like Robert's idea a lot!!! Tom

In using a monopod Robert goes one better than the Hungarian umbrella assassin. Seriously though, you get two types of people doing this; those who genuinely don't realise, and those who do it deliberately as an act of 'fk-you'. If it was me the first thing I would have done is looked at the guy's camera....if it was a point and shoot then ok fair enough probably just an innocent noob not realising so leave him alone, but if he had some serious gear then probably it was deliberate because he thinks he has more right to a better shot than you do, so just do back to him as he did to you, if he retaliates then head but to the bridge of the nose or swift knee in the bllx.........rules of engagement for those who had it coming. Pushy argy bargy impolite types have a weakness, and that is their own psychology. Imagine what these fkrs must drive like on the roads, pushing everyone else around. Now, if you use their own psychology against them rather than yielding....believe me it lets all their compressed air escape and they're left with nowt. Standard way of dealing with bullies.....just do it back but harder. On edit: I just realised this happened in the US, in that case you'd need to make sure the A-hole didn't have a gun, because having a gun gives you the right to shove everyone else around.

Do not corner something that is meaner than you!!!!! Keep skunks, lawyers, and bankers at a distance sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got!!

Huuuuummmm panning from behind with a very large lens might start to get the idea across or I could borrow a friends 4x4 of knowledge oak about 6 ft long aaaah no that would probably be considered a weapon (can't have that) the lens would just be an unfortunate accident RIGHT!!!!! Ed

There's just some inconsiderate bastids around. It's the norm I'm afraid....never mind other people, manners or morals. You see it, you grab it, if someone else is in the way just walk all over 'em. A sad reflection of the times. I saw it coming years ago when I used to use public transport; old lady on a bus standing, no seats. School kid sitting. Asked School kid to give up seat for the old lady and was told to F-off. The way I see it, if someone casually trashes you as if you meant nothing, then casually do something back as if they mean nothing. Go about one's business without causing harm or inconvenience to others, but if someone does you......you have a right to do 'em back, because laws (especially in England) are usually there to protect the villain at the expense of the victim's dignity and rights. The world we live in, sadly.

unfortunately this is a fact of life in the birding world ,the biggest penis(lens) in the hide type always want to try and get a better shot probably based on the premise that they paid more for there gear so they can be more arrogant . i have a very efficient way of dealing with this ,i seem to have the ability to fart very loudly on demand ,if not a few loud burps also works well ,luckily as robert can testify i have the height,bulk ,and gob to back up these actions .sad i know but a fact of life these days ,you always find these a*******s that push in are the ones that won't indulge in banter with the smaller penis (lens) types that frequent the locations to . so if your in a bird hide acting the prat and some big geezer stands next to you and lets rip introduce yourself i can be nice at times 3:)
