Not close up with the DP1

Normally I shoot watersports by sticking a big telephoto on front of a big camera and stand on the beach and wait for something to come my way. Like this:

A telephoto is also useful to turn sideways and get candid beach shots…

But the other day I didn’t have the big camera or a big lens, so I waded out into the sea with the DP1 and caught Craig bearing down on me.

Made for a different angle than using a telephoto, although I don’t think I could get away with taking a similar shot of a Russian beach babe.

You realise of course the Freudian interpretation of your predeliction for adding things to lengthen your intruments. Yes, you love to photograph far away things.

Which reminds me that Her Indoors favourite (only?) joke is about men with big shoes and just what this means, “big feet!” she will tell you before giggling and laughing so hard it makes her cry. Women.

You have a small dick which you try to compensate for with dreamy red sportcars with long, long bonnets and cameras with enviably long telephoto lenses …

Well, you did ask …………

Anyway, not to worry, here is love tip 200

Interesting that you were aware of such a link (and don’t give me some pathetic excuse involving Google). I assume you also have small feet.
