Impressive, @scottshots, that was a bold move.

Yes, I can't tell you how happy I was when this camera was set up within my frame. I had been here since the middle of the night, and set up before anyone else, hoping and crossing my fingers that someone would come and place their camera and tripod there just before the sun rose!

That was so helpful of them to lend you their gear for the shot. Sorry but I would have charged you if you wanted a photo of my gear. However I would sign a property release so you could use the photo however you wanted to...

Unfortunately I lost their contact information, so I'm unable to send them the royalty checks.

Well, as long as they don't recognize their gear, it's all your$.

The serial number isn't visible. ;)

I had the same thing happen to me at the Grand Canyon. I set up for a sunrise TL, and I though I was safe as I was as close to the edge as I thought you could get. I went off to set up my other cameras and when I came back later someone had put their tripod over the railing and right through my photo. I was able to crop and save the image but by doing so the image lost the depth and vastness of the canyon.

Sigh. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and think that they just aren't aware of how wide wide angles can be, but sometimes you wonder.

It was Yosemite for me... :( It was sunset at Glacier View. I thought she was just being friendly and setting up next to me. Next thing I know our tripod legs were crossed. Bump, my composition was thrown way off and not even an apology... Haven't been back to that spot since.
