While I was in Arches, I was shooting sunrise, had hiked several miles in the snow, to get a great spot under the arch. I'd been setup and was waiting for light.
Right as the best light fell, this jackass comes up the trail and sets up his tripod below the boulder I was standing on top of.
He sets up his gear and then proceeds to ask me about mine. He says" 5D, huh... nice." So, out of courtesy, I ask him, about his... he says "D3X". I say, ah.. nice back to him.
He then proceeds to go into a diatribe about how much better the Nikon is than my Canon. I tell him that I work mostly at night, so the sunrise thing is not my main cup o tea. Well, he goes on and on about how awesome his body is and that it just leaves mine in the dust when it comes to night shots.
I just smirked and said "Okay, whatever".
He continues on and on, and I finally tire of this and tell him: "Look I do a lot of night stuff and I do a lot of time-lapse - your Nikon may have better high ISO performance but for night stuff, I've never seen any difference AND for time-lapse your camera is complete junk". He disagreed, saying that it had built in time-lapse, etc.. in which I asked him, what is the intrasecond intervals that your body can shoot in bulb mode? He had no idea... so I informed him that all Nikon bodies are pretty much crippled when it comes to capturing less than 1 second bulb shots such as used in bulb ramping.
He got quite offended and asked if I had a website, how much stuff I sold, how big my penis was, yada yada yada.
The light was gone and I quickly got down and walked away. Such an *******.
