I question their value, other than the entertainment value they are getting playing with their new toys. >Also, why should it be *their* job to get out of *your* way?

I don't know whether to ignore him and come up beside him and take my shot, or whether he's actually doing something. The point is, thousands of these things become very irritatiing after awhile. I don't mind anyone wanting to take a real photo for their album, but these things are simply because they can, and because it's still a novelty. It bugs me that's all. Consider that in most cases the animal will be no more than a couple of blurry pixels... Jim Davis Nature Photography http://www.kjsl.com/~jbdavis/ Reply in plain text only please!
