OK, I was out in my local park shooting birds today. Walking back and fore between different locations. I was heading down this trail lugging my 1dmarkII, 400L F5.6, 430ex flash with a beamer on, and a monopod. A bunch of school girls, I think they are from Catholic school, walking toward me. One of them stopped me in my path. She said she was in love. I gave her a strange look. She was in love with my bird rig. It was big and huge some reference like that.
I didn't say anything and smiled at her. Then, she asked me what camera was that and I said it was a Canon. I, then, proceeded with my way. She said she knew it was Canon but wanted to know what model. She said she has a bigger one at home. Embarrassingly I said it was a 1d markII. I think that really shocked her because she was speechless afterward. Then, she wanted to take pictures of me with my rig. Reluctantly I said OK. She was doing a school project. After, she wanted to know my name and they were on their way.
