The victim's point-of-view Photo

Photographer’s Note

I caught this guy at a wedding I was at a few weeks ago, and we jokingly pointed our cameras at each other. I decided I would show you photographers what it's like on the other side of the camera ;0) I cropped it a lot so it's not as clear as it could be. I'm open to any suggestions. I hope you like it.

interesting view point in this image. wouldn't it be fun to have the photographer taking this image reflected in the lens of this photographers camera. just a thought. there is some loss of detail due to the large crop and a little confusion in the background with the roof line running through the subjects head. interesting image however.

An imaginative shot. Good that it's B&W but it would have been even better if it had been sharper. Fortunately, this is something you can try again -- depending on how many weddings you attend! (-:

Very creative... would it have worked better if you had cropped it further to make it a vertical shot (eliminating the house on the left and starting at the hand). Like the B&W: works well here.

Love this kind of shots ... I have a theme (photographing the photographer) and a website, Uncommon Photographers dedicated to photographers in action. I like the immediacy/candidness of this shot - unprepared, unposed, slightly off focus to show the instantaneous reaction to shoot that you had when seeing him.
