People who honk at you while you're taking a photo

Post Tue Jan 26, 2010 1:18 am


I often take photos along the side of roadways or within easy view of motorists traveling on a roadway. Often the motorists will honk at me. They aren't quick & friendly "beep-beeps". I'm guessing it's along the lines of either a) "here's a guy who is concentrating on something that wouldn't be of any significance to me, so I'll distract him" or b) "please turn your camera towards me, as I'm more important than that barn!". :D

Has anyone else experienced this?

Oh yes. I've been shooting for 4 decades and I must say that it happens all the time. I'm not sure if it is more prevalent today than years ago or I'm just spending more time roadside than before, but it has been very noticeable in the last few years.

I was taking picture of an old bridge and some guy pulled over and asked me what I'm taking pictures of. He wasn't happy with the answer and follwed me around for some time in his car. He even ran over curbs not to lose me :)
