Shooting at Shows - Tips?

[Gaz.]

Anybody got any tips for shooting at shows? Especially if it's mega sunny.

Large bore rifle, aim for skinny's head/ upper chest area.

Put at least 2/3 rounds in to ensure target is down. Dont miss.

I can borrow a shotgun, more chance of body damage.

In all serious though, Shooting with the Camera

Well this gave me lots of tips. I'm going to kill skinny calling in an airstrike, i think I'll put it on timer so I can leave the immediate area.

Mod an M203 so it's on Auto.

i'll start some seriousness....

i assume you're meaning car shows?
get some filters strapped on, a CPL will reduce glare on cars and make them look lots nicer.
car shows can be a bugger, especially if it is sunny. I can 100% guarantee that the car that you really want to be getting a pic of will not have its front end pointing to the sun. Shooting from behind (wahey) might not give the desired shot. Might be able to use some 25-50% flash on the front end into to get a shot.... still not ideal as you're shooting into the sun though!

A bit late now, wanted this stuff for FCS. Had a CPL fortunately. Only thing I didn't do is flash. Good to know for next time. Thanks.

He was too skinny to hit. Would have been easier hitting a piece of paper in it's thinnest dimension.

Probably best to keep the old chap in the trousers when in public places :rasp:
