2 long days...
I spent 2 days shooting near London Ontario for the biker murders. long days full of waiting for something to happen. when things did happen it was soooooo far away. I was shooting with a 400 and a 1.4 and i was still loose. the second day ron bull was sent down to take over my post. he brought a 600 and a doubler along with a 1.4 still kinda loose.
two long days but worth every minute.
the first photo is the police barricade and the media in the foreground, the second photo is the crime scene. thats not the 400 with 1.4 just a wide shot at like 200 mm.

doesn't sound like it was worth every minute, although i like the first pic.

some clarification, it was worth every minute not just for photos. Lets face it. these photos aren't great. everything that is not recorded in these pictures are what made it exciting. the experience of covering national news, the time spent in my car till 3 in the morning with freelance photographer Craig Glover shooting ths shit, waiting. the hordes of media. well worth the time.
I agree with you Carlos. The anticipation of what COULD happen is awesome when you are running on national news crack. I've done it here in E-town.....and you learn some valuable lessons about NEVER leaving the scene. When you leave, that is when the best pictures are bound to happen and you get beat by your competition. Making something out of nothing is what separates the wheat from the chaf.
