People always walking into your camera shot when you’re taking photographs

This is a fine art  and the secret is all in the timing –  a second early and you’re not in shot, a second late and your chance is missed for ever This is according to Kevin Bracekettle, a leading practitioner in this increasingly popular entertainment field which is called  ‘Shutterbutting’. He gets his kicks not only from intruding upon people’s holiday shots but also on a wider stage from goofing behind television reporters’ backs during live broadcasters . You might well recognise him as he often attends high profile national events just for this purpose including  sporting fixtures such as cricket Test Matches , many of which he has brought to a halt by walking back and forth across the sight-screens. There is a network of like minded enthusiasts called ‘The Snapdragons’ who keep in contact on Facebook and Twitter whereby they can all be instantly  alerted to the presence of any party of foreign tourists or camera crews in the area . Dr Uve Hartzhog, the Quot psychologist , says that shutterbutters making their presence felt in this way is a common attention-seeking ploy shared by all spoilsports and party-poopers who would rather be annoying than be ignored and indeed revel in the abuse they inevitably attract. The delights of walking across and into other people’s sight-lines are often discovered  in early childhood :  long-sighted supermarket customers who stand right back on the other side of the aisles to get a wider view of what’s on the shelves are easy targets for kind of mischief .
