Looking like a professional photographer has its disadvantages!!!

While I was walking around the comic con the other day, I was wearing a dual camera sling with my 60D (accessorized with a grip, 70-200, and 430ex speedlite) and a T1i (with 17-50 2.8), so I was looking like a professional photographer.

I come up to the booth that has the old Batmobile. There are signs stating take all the photographs you like from behind the line (or pay some crazy money to pose with it and he takes your picture with a point and shoot, printed on a home printer.

When I got there, he was taking a picture of some people with the car, so I patiently wait. When they were done, he quickly moves three signs near the car and would not get completely out of the way for me to take a picture. I ask him if he could slide the signs forward and he tells me no.

Here is the best I could grab

pretty cool car- - I wonder if he would have moved away had you explained that you were there for fun and would have emailed him a pic.

I had the Matchbox version of that car! That was a cool batmobile.
