Photographing the Photographers

Let’s have a bit of fun this week. Let’s spy on the photographers we spot, and take snaps of them as they do what photographers have to do. The featured photo was taken last summer near Bamburgh. These people with their cameras and all the tackle were actually twitchers, in pursuit of some bird that had fetched up there – I can’t remember what.

Here’s another image from there, and then another, also from Northumberland: the Baltic in Gateshead, where one eager visitor was taking shots of the bridges on the Tyne.

Or there’s that photographer’s paradise, Whitby Goth Weekend.

Or sometimes a TV photographer turns up. Much more impressive.

Or even what passes for film crew, spotted in Brick Lane.

But we’ll end where we began, with shots of photographers being snapped. A friend and I enjoyed playing around with this once-upon-a-time camera shop in Newcastle, and if you look very hard, you’ll see me in the second image, looking for that perfect shot.

For Leanne’s Monochrome Madness.

  1. A great idea for a themed gallery and they all work so well in monochrome! Of course I remember that Brick Lane filming 🙂 And the Baltic shot made me smile as however many photos I have of that view I still have to take one whenever we go there!

  2. Such a serious lot, the first bunch! The Goth looks plastic but I like the outfit. It’s a fabulous event! I waved at you in the shop window, but you had your hands full. I took a couple of shots of photographers taking shots of us on our walk this morning, but they don’t compare xx
