Often mentioned on here, the perfect example of the amateur snapper at weddings so loathed by professionals as their ignorance makes the the pro's job nigh on impossible........

( Hope the link works... )

I've become fully aware that people are ignorant to their surroundings so when i'm shooting i've become more cognizant of people who are about to walk into my shot.

I love the people who see me acknowledge that they are about to walk into the shot and instead of pausing or going around, they CONTINUE on their path through my shot, some don't even bother to pick up the pace a bit.

My ex-mother-in-law was that guy as I was shooting her sons wedding. Saw I was poised waiting for the B&G to come out then just as they emerged stepping out about a yard in front of me. I'm not sure if she didn't do it on purpose just because she hates me. vmad

Luckily I was on machine gun mode so was able to combine a couple of images and Photoshop her out of existence :p

Many people just don't care. And, in fact, "don't care" SO MUCH that they will go out of their way to intentionally show you just how much they don't care. Because...they clearly don't care.

That has to be the funniest example of what can happen when an guest wants to get the same shots as the tog. Simon Pegg's "Run Fatboy, Run!" springs to mind.
