Tinfoilhat:

I'm still not sure what drives shooters to get "that shot"... bro's the camera op in the family. I stick to the graphic/animation and audio side - corrective lenses and eyecups don't mix... doesn't help that he's built like a tripod and I'm more a monopod (both 6' 3", I'm 155lbs, he's somewhere over 200)... we were working the Military Tattoo here one year, him on the arena floor with the shooty bits, me up in the booth... he set up a great shot just before a fusillade... and got a quick and painful reminder that rifles eject to the right... sonuvabee got 5 hot brass rounds that dropped into various parts of his tech vest - but never gave up the shot.
