Sounds like what wannabees would do, rather than any serious photographer. I like shooting where there are not only no other LF photographers around, but no human beings of any kind in sight. If you want to all pile out of a tour bus at once onto some "scenic turnout" at some Natl Park, you have my blessing, because I won't be anywhere around. That doesn't mean that backcountry is my only genre. I shoot in cities too, and have done portraits etc. I just don't like doing it in herds with all their damn gear talk. That kind of talk has it's place, namely on these forums. But on a shoot, all that kind of thing has to be intuitive if you're going to concentrate on the subject itself, without annoying distraction from others. But egad, why do some people think that if they grow a beard, wear a cowboy hat, and purchase a big camera, they're going to be the next Ansel Adams?
