Well I should have known better, I really really should have known better. But I didn't. I forgot that most people have the weekend off and so on a nice bright early spring day what do they do? They go to the park to feed the ducks. Now I don't blame them for that I would do the same its just that I wanted to try and capture some shots. The two tend to be mutually exclusive. They were today.
The first problem is that anyone with a camera is treated with suspicion Now if that camera has a huge telephoto lens on it then you get extra strange looks. The next is the inane comments. One person asked ' ...do you need all that equipment for just some gulls?...' Well yes otherwise I wouldn't be lugging it around with me. Then there are the dogs chasing all over the place and on and on it goes.( I've just reread this and I am starting to sound like Marcus Brigstocke. )
It is no else's fault; they were after all enjoying themselves in the park - just as I was trying to. I should have chosen a quieter weekday and I will in future.
