Back when we still had strobes mounted on the cameras all the time and were covering football games with TV cameras at field level and they became bossy and pushy to get out of their way or else!~ We had a great weapon for they're cameras. We would turn on the strobe for full charge and then quickly step in front of the TV camera and shoot right at the lens! This in turn with the early TV cameras rendered them blind for a bit and pissed the TV guys off royally. After awhile they learned to ask politely if a stills guy wandered accidentally in they're line of sight. Stills guys know how to get revenge! :) ted
