Paparazzi as a job?

But if you need 800mm + 2xTC to get the photo has the expectation of privacy been breached?

Also, if a 'tog can get that close so can a sniper with say a M107A1 50cal sniper rifle.

Hey Kym, if a person knows they are likely to be photographed doing something, but goes ahead and does it, can they still cry wolf?

Ps you would have to one the best snipers in the world to get a shot in from 1 kilometer, which is what the distance was claimed to be

But that's the point, they thought they were in private.

Just a well trained person, quite possible with the right weapon and scope.
I knew an SAS soldier when I was in the army... I thought I did well on the range until I saw his results at a Queen's medal shoot.

no I don't think so ....I don't have a 70-200 lens yet

I voted Yes.

Although to clarify, I would not like to be a 'celebrity chasing' photographer. However, if circumstances eventuated where I happened across a situation and had my camera, would I take the shot...Hell Yes..Would I sell it to the highest bidder...Yes again.

So, taking your suggestion Kym, if I happened to be strolling along a beach preparing to get sunset shots and came across a naked Gordon Ramsay frolicking in the surf with some 'floosie', I would take the shots. If he wanted the moment to be private, he should have stayed in his hotel room

Couldnt agree more Rick but on the subject of Ramsey though, I dont think i would have enough time this year to photoshop the crevices out on his face.
