Tony & Chelsea Northrup hahahah this was a great video....Chelsea trying her best to roast you tony!!
Tony & Chelsea Northrup
Greater canon 7D ii + 400 f 2.8 is ii or 500 f4 is ii
thats the right stuff to start
You two rock
"Your face looks young but your hair is old." LOL. Got me. XD
Stuff that Annoys Wildlife Photographers: People.
Hahahaha
I always get supper conscious or insecure about myself when Someone else is on the trail I’m on or something
😂
When I was a kid, we went to J. N. Ding Darling wildlife refuge on Sanibel Island. I saw a bunch of photographers with 500 and 600mm lenses lined up for the Roseate Spoonbills there. Bored from the apparent lack of action from the birds, I ran up and clapped my hands so they all flew away, much to the dismay of all the photographers there. Now I'm 38 years old, and I'm that guy with the long lens getting annoyed by loud children. It was probably mean't to be, lol.
Photo314159 haha, that's hilarious!
Priceless!!
Ya....those same photographers are still there taking the same picture of the same Roseate spoonbills. I was just there a month ago.
I've been there 4 times in the last 20 years. Love that place.
Yup, I had the family with 3 children and a dog run up to me, while I was trying to get a shot of a Pileated Woodpecker, and yell what do you see. My reply was "nothing now that you scared it away".
Why is Chelsea so good at being that guy...
Because I have to deal with them all of the time. (see other replies to your comment for proof) :D
I think she heard it all too many times. 'Based on a true story' :-)
Your face looks young but your hair looks old, so funny.
IK LOL
+Night6436 lol
Now we all know what Chelsea really thinks! Haha great video!
Classic line - made me laugh out loud!
melanin deficiency. I am 34 and have greys coming through my light brown hair. it happens. Better than going totally bald.
When I was about five or six, we went to a nature reserve and saw someone taking photos and my father very carefully explained why we should go past quietly and without getting in the way. We grew into the kind of kids who would get annoyed with adults who behaved badly around photographers. My little sister would actually say to them, "You should be ashamed!"
Chelsea is HILARIOUS. Wonder if she ever took improv classes or something… this is really funny.
She must have met loads of annoying people
@@liteoner 😂
Rule 1: Don't go to the NWR on weekends or holidays.
Rule 2: Do go on cold, windy days & during low tides.
Then there was the lady who pulled up behind me while I was trying to shoot a Kingfisher & she jumped out of her car with her cell phone.... I drove off & there she was just looking around at nothing ...
Then there were the folks who chased off the feeding Osprey while I was fetching my camera, after I asked them to be quiet & careful ... I came back ... "Yeh, he just flew off! We tried to get a closer look, we couldn't tell but it looked like he was eating something!?" Not 10 minutes later ... the same folks, chasing off more birds that I had waited to mellow out.
Did you know that a well-built all-glass & steel vintage medium format 500mm lens also serves as a $350 club or a bat?
"did you write that? Smoke weed? That's illegal" lol
So is J-walking hahaha!
citizens arrest = citizens butt whoopin
I got so upset the other day trying to do some wildlife photography. There was a large flock of ducks hanging out near a pond, and to try to get a neat shot I actually got down and started army-crawling towards them to try and avoid spooking them. I finally got close enough and had just started to focus the image when 3 girls just waltzed right through the flock, scaring all of them away. Yes, of course, pay no attention to the girl lying on the ground with a camera.
+queenOFcorn1994 That's the wildlife photographer's life.
It happens in the UK too. Some people just live in their own world.
Maybe a situation like that would make a good shot
Your face looks younger but your hair looks old 😀😝
I always thought that it made him look like a really chill guy.
Cheers for "old hair"
sexy guy
Better "old hair" than "no hair".
I resemble (resent)that remark ....
OMG :-) Chelsea was a fantastic anoyance and Tony was waaaay too nice :-) Great video guys, I chuckled all the way through... Chelsea, I meant that comment in a good way (acting wise) of course... :-)
Lol "can you photoshop my dog to look skinny" 🐺
ought to help with his introvert syndrome
I'm so happy that I have my own piece of land to photograph animals on. I have a lot of patience with animals... but people? Hell no.
With a pretty woman like that 'annoying' me, I might start taking portraits.
With a 600mm!? Lol
+Shahzeb Nasir it's 500mm ;)
with a teleconverter
If she's worth her salt, she shouldn't be hand holding that puppy.
Too funny. Was that even scripted or did she just come up with it on the spot? Doggy introvert syndrome - That made me crack up!
heheee giggles..
Hahahahaha, Chelsea is so hilarious. She's a natural comedian. "Your face looks young but your hair is old." LMAO
ive had the comment "wow you have all that camera stuff and i got a photo of jupiter with my little camera, look!" I laughed and said ""it looks like a ultrasound... look there is a leg!" ha ha haa.... she was pissed! :)
1:27 "I like that you're lens matches your outfit." Bwaaaahahaha
"I like how your camera lense matches your outfit" - I almost spewed my coffee all over my computer! OMG, this was hilarious. You two make the best 'photography annoying' videos... you gotta make some more. Here are a few suggestions: Drone photographers, Camera/supply Shoppers, Camera Tutorial RUclipsrs. Thanks, Benjamight.
Wow, that was sooooo funny.
I was 5 weeks out west and EVERYONE with their iphones taking photos like they're freeking Ansel Adams. Swarming all over, like ants at a picnic. See that dot, that's _________ [Alcatraz, a seal, a whale, a harrier jet...]. Don't get me started on all the selfies that were taken, like they're trying to get a modeling career.
LOL @ 1:10 Bending like a pancake. More like a taco.
You guys should seriously consider do more of these videos!!! Made my day. Cheers!😁
I COMPLETELY can appreciate this one :) And adding to it, "Can you see the moon with that thing? Can I look through it? How much does it cost?" and usually these questions come JUST as you are photographing something really fleeting and very special.... Well done video, Tony.
langellphotography Oh funny, have you gotten the "Can you see the moon with that thing?" question? We recorded that, but it didn't make the final cut. I told the (real life question-asking) person, "Yes, but you can see the moon with your eyes." They were completely baffled.
Tony Northrup I have TOTALLY had that exact conversation. Yes. Yes, I can see the moon with this.
Point your finger at the moon. I can see it, right there.
Yessss! Everyone always wants to look through the camera as they scare the animal away.
OMG I'm dying. Chelsea rocks.
Your face looks young but your hair looks old hahaha! The best part of this video!
So true....... Note: Poison ivy in the background... those red leaves.
I used to have a crush on your wife until watching this video, now I can't stand her. She should take up acting.
So funny... and so true! Very much enjoyed this!!
Namaste' David , Happy Holidays Unto You . Your Purpose Is Define In Your Passion And LUV ..................... :-*
Iceman Westside :) Thank you.
The fact that she can do that soooooo well, just shows how many times she's encountered folks just like that. Very funny.
Stuff that annoys wildlife photographers/stuff that annoys photographers in general
It's 3am and I couldn't sleep... now my wife can't either because I'm laughing.
I've heard almost every comment you made before in my travels. I love your sense of humor. Please tell me you have a sister who's single ;-).....
Fantastic actress. She is good but unfortunately there's people just like her out there.
Things I hate as a wildlife photographer...Loud cameras....It annoys me and probably spooks some animals.
+mason methot Yes, I have tried photographing butterflies and dragonflies close up and the click noise on my Canon DSLRs makes them fly away. I'd move to a mirrorless in some situations like that if the auto focus was better on them.
DynamixWarePro Auto focusing on those digital's cameras isn't all that bad, but in some cases it is. You could always use the manual focus function (which isn't all that easy to use but it does the job).
+DynamixWarePro I have just the same problem as you have, with my canon 7D mark ii, any suggestions? I am mostly a nature photographer therefore have the same problem with macro photography....
Daniela Argandoña I haven't yet figured it out totally, but I have found that one good way of getting better shots of your subject, especially if its an animal or inscet, is to if possible, learn about that species behaviour or watch it for a few minutes and see what it does before trying to take photos of them, unless its a species your not going to see often enough to do that.
When photographing certain insects like butterflies or dragonflies, its how you approach them that counts. Noise and shadows can disturb them. If its a sunny day, try and keep your shadow away from them as that can scare them off if it goes near them. Also if they are feeding, they are less likely to flee since they are distracted.
When I have photographed butterflies in the past, I have often found both patience and watching the butterfly for a few minutes can help as I once watched a butterfly and noticed that every so often, it would fly back to this one flower in the area, so I sat my camera and tripod near the flower and waited for it to land and when it did, I was able to take a few good shots before it flew away.
I do know some people who use 7Ds or 70Ds and use either the Sigma 150 mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO Macro or Sigma 180mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM Macro Lens as the longer focal lengths help as you're not as close to the subject then.
+mason methot With Magic lantern there is a silent mode. you take picture without shutter noise. If your camera is compatible.
I would've pushed her into the water about 2 minutes in....
camustang1966 Yes! I wish we had filmed that as the ending...
Why do you bother taking pictures of animals when you could just stay home and get drunk watching TV?
François Bertrand We're over-achievers. We do *both*.
Tony Northrup I think an expert challenge would be for both Photographer and animal to get drunk, and try to take pictures of each other.
Because that's his job.
"Your face looks young, but your hair is old."
Bahahahaaaa!!! Now *that*, judging by the tiny bit of Tony's reaction we saw, looked spontaneous. This, unlike so many of these so-called "funny" photography related skits, is actually very funny, and painfully accurate in so many ways.
HAHAHA!!! Too funny! By the way, love your channel. I'm really learning a lot about photography.
Some of Chelsea's comments were relevant to other styles of photography too! Great little video. Awesome!
Whoa, I did'nt know you are funny, too:D Awesome video!
3:44 The only way Tony Northrup can get away with calling his wife annoying ;)
Great video
Haven't had annoying people but I gotten stared at by people who act like they've never seen a camera before. One guy kept walking back & forth checking out my equipment. Made me nervous so I left. Now, I never shot alone anymore.
I can appreciate your comment. I was back in the bayou-side trail one time in Louisiana and a guy came up to me and kept asking about my gear (he was clearly not a photographer). He asked in an uncomfortable way---made me nervous. When he asked how much it was worth (the lens), I just said that they vary---but that this model has a neat feature where, if it's stolen, I can activate a "Lo-Jack" type mechanism and the crook can be tracked immediately via GPS. He walked away.....
Well, if a girl like Chelsea come like that even with thoes stupid question, ....I will not mind,....maybe take some phonenumber back? :)
Great Fun.....damn fine cast with talent and excellent post production Justin :-)
***** I had the easiest part. Your production and filming were awesome, Justin, and Chelsea apparently spent a decade in the Upright Citizens Brigade and never told me.
Good old Chelsea...that motormouth is the perfect foil for Tony Northrup . Seriously ***** great job on the edit.
One of the questions that irritates me the most about big lens: "by how many times does this lens zoom?"
"doggy introvert syndrome" lmao best one yet...
i noticed that most photographers have the tripod mount on the lens upside down. why is that?
MarcAnthony Giovannoni You have to support it from under the lens, and the tripod mount is uncomfortable
Tony Northrup ohh that makes more sense. thanks for the reply
The best I have ever seen Chelsea on camera. She had me in tears I was laughing so hard! You have really gotten comfortable young lady. "Your face looks young, but your hair looks old!" Classic. Well done!
Your face looks young, but your hair is old :D
"do you know Gary Waltham?"
"no..."
"...me neither"
brilliant!
You forgot "BIG CAMERA! CAN YOU TAKE PICTURES OF THE MOON WITH THAT?"
and "THAT MUST TAKE REALLY GOOD PICTURES!" ...sigh....
Me: taking landscape shot at local wildlife refuge. Annoying lady: What are you taking pictures of? Is there someone out there (in the marsh)? Is there an animal? Is there a bird? I can't see anything...yadda, yadda... YES, THAT WOMAN REALLY DOES EXIST! LOL!!!
This is one of the greatest videos on RUclips! The only one it is missing is the loud people that roll up to the huge crowd of silent people in Yellowstone and stream and holler. I have had to many experiences with awful people while taking photos. Check out my shots on instagram @dukemoose instagram.com/dukemoose
Exactly the same thing with being a news cameraman. "Hey is that camera heavy?" "Do you know the weatherman at your station?" "What newspaper are you from" "Do you have sound? My brother's camera has sound..." "Can I be on TV?" "How do I get into movies?" "What movie are you shooting?" "What format do you shoot in?". "Hey that's cool" then they stand right in front of your camera so you have to tap them on the shoulder and they turn around and say "Oh, I didn't know you were shooting."
Great video. Been there, done that. Had a lady bug the crap out of me while I was shooting nesting herons. "Gosh, that's a huge lens, can you really get close ups with that thing? How big is it." etc... You just wanna scream SHUT THE H**L UP!
Chelsea: Do you know Sarah McDowell?
Tony: No!
Chelsea: She takes better pictures than you
LMAO
Great fun. Thanks .I always seem to get old ladies who think I am a lurking pervert. When I told one I was photographing birds she looked round sceptically and said in a loud voice "what birds?" 👵🦆
And a beautiful young woman asked if I was a professional photographer.I didnt mind her so much.But I only lie to to those who look like muggers and ask how much my kit cost. Not sure they believe me when I say £10 on ebay.I need something that makes it look like a bottle in a supermarket carrier bag and also fools wildlife! But that would increase the old ladies.👵👵
I laugh every time I watch this. Chelsea does a GREAT job.
Lool…That was funny!!!
Not sure it's only wildlife photograpers experience those! :-)
i get this one a lot: "why is your lens so big? are you compensating for something?"
should reply with " Yea distance"
For me the dogs have usually been the most annoying... and evangelical Christians that start talking to me about photography as a conversation starter to talk about religion... I'm trying to take pictures of the birds, I don't have the time for an hour of being polite and not cutting them off... but I still let them finish. Maybe I should be less polite and just interrupt them, it would save both of us time.
I don't really find any of these annoying. The only one I can find disappointing is owners letting their dogs run wild even when they see me trying to get a shot.
I have had some people offering me to move so I could get a shot and I always reply " Only if you're about to leave because you have as much right as me to be here".
Chelsea was excellent at playing the part, it was pretty funny to watch.
nice annoying stuff you have !!! LoL...... Ohhh man we have had this once 'n a while ..... ohh boy
I think the WORST incident I ever had to deal with was a couple guys walked out of the trees into my frame while I was scanning the far side of a river and then one of them started acting like I was trying to take their pictures, yelling foul crap at me, making threats, etc. The guy was a total psycho. Always good to be prepared to defend yourself when you're out in the middle of nowhere alone, and in some places it seems especially so if you have a camera. People in some areas just freak out when they see one... don't know if it's because they are afraid you've caught them doing something or what. But ya, more commonly it's something like an idiot bringing their dog out and letting it off the leash to run and chase off everything in the area, which these idiots also did.
In my case, this is pretty universal. So many times I've been asked on why I'm shooting a scenery when I can just take one with my phone (-.- )
How is it the Chelsea is sooooo gooooood at being annoying. :D But, I could easily forgive her.
LOL!!! thats funny stuff. I've had some of that stuff, but never anyone that annoying.
"Nice camera! Did you get any good shots?" - This person only shows up on days when you've been skunked.
Please do a similar video called, "Stuff that Annoys Wedding Photographers". Heck, you can probably reuse half of the dialogue from this video. ;)
"
I was thinking, it should be "Stuff That Annoys Photographers," in general.
Very Funny! Enjoyed the video and got a kick out of it. Thanks for sharing.
Nothing drives me nuts is when people tell me their phone takes pictures that are just as good as mine😠😠😠
"My iphone takes really great pictures"
"How much does that lens cost?"
Good ones!
Chelsey you are a darling!
Ha! "I'm a Vegan". Gave a positive vote just for that....
Oh god she's way too good of an actress. I would've lost it so damn quick.
#bigsmile The one I get a lot is "what magnification is that lens?" and "is that all! I can get x40 on my phone"
"Your face looks young but your hair looks old". Winner.
I feel your pain.
I had a guy come up to me about 12 months ago whilst I was doing some video shooting of the Sydney Oprah House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Lunar Park and various Harbour vista's.
I was using a Canon XF300 on a Manfrotto Pro Tripod with a few extra bells and whistles thrown in so to anyone who knew anything about Video I at least had the right gear to do what I was attempting to do with a reasonable collection of gear.
This guy comes up to me and berates me for not having the Canon XF 305 as opposed to my XF 300, you see the 305 has a "far far better picture" and is "much better suited for the subjects I was attempting to video"
These two cameras are identical in their technology for image capture the 305 simply has two more output connections for the exact same image captured and I simply do not need these extra's ($500)
He then went on to tell me that at the end of the day I should just buy,like he had just done, the latest iPhone because if could see the stuff he had shot with that I would have "saved yourself $5,000" and simply"bought an iPhone" like he did, because " that's all you need" Oh and my tripod was no good either, no worries if I had an iPhone I would "not need a Tripod would I?
I thanked him for his expert advice and told him that he may well be correct because the last I heard FOX Australia was doing all their live News and Sporting broadcasts with iPhones, his face lit up, (maybe Apple had already told him that)
We shook hands and he went on his way yet another satisfied iPhone / Apple customer, I thanked God I had no shares in Canon, after all how would it be possible for them to survive such a one on one meet and greet their customers on the street by Apple users so determined to alert them of the error's of their ways?
If you are still reading, how about these gems from my Videoing exploits:
1."Does that do sound too" (Whilst staring at a rather obvious shot gun microphone)
2. "Will that play in my car cassett player ? (AND WHAT? PROJECT AN IMAGE ONTO YOUR F*****G WINDSCREEN?)
3 "Can you see through the Camera" (whilst I was looking through the Video camera eye piece)
4. "Oh gee am I on film / tv? (whilst standing in front of the video camera)
5. "excuse me what network are you from?
6."why don't you get a Go Pro, you can use them in the rain"
7. "you really should go TO ......insert place name here"
8. " have you applied for a permit to do that here?
Just a hand full of the examples of interaction between myself and the average Australian / Floridian.
There is absolutely nothing Australian about those interactions. I've had many such encounters here in the US.
"You're face looks young, but your hair is old"
You guys are hilarious. Love your videos.
I have a feeling that most of Chelsea's lines were non scripted, she does impressions like this on the streams all the time!
Yeah, we don't script anything. At best we have a general idea of what we'll talk about, but everything is improv'd. With Chelsea, you just wind her up and let her go :).
Tony Northrup She is a comical genius, really channeling the inner mom!
Lol, thats a distraction 99% photographers wish they had!
Amusing. I've had the "wow nice lens" comment thrown at me before.
Academy award for Chelsea. Such a great job.
That does it. I must now order new business cards and replace 'Photographer' with 'Some Kind of Murder Picture Taker Guy'.
oh man...
that's EXACTLY what it feels like when out shooting and a passer-by looks at me as if I'm some douche bag pervert creepozoid sneaking around amongst the trees.
Well said, mrs. Northrup!
Yep, people do a double take when we're out in camo with a huge lens. It makes me feel like a creep.
Quit worrying about your shots dude, I think she's into you
with people like that I turn my hearing aids off
"i like that your lens matches your outfit" hahaha, i was thinking that when watching this video lol. Another great video. Always watch your channel. Thanks for the knowledge and entertainment.
I had to watch this again because wow....Chelsea tortures you Tony! Hahaha. But it's amazing Tony's able to keep a straight face for most of the time!!!
Your face looks young but your hair looks old. Lol
"Your face looks young, but your hair is old" ....... BWAHAHAHAHAH
Excellent !!
Very good... She knew what she was talking about ! You should listen to her more often ::D
Where can you get lens tape like you have in the video?
This video made a dreary and rainy weekend a little brighter. Great work!
I've just started my journey learning photography and really enjoy your videos. As a complete newb, I just had a bizarre experience inline with this video. I've got my Sony A6000 on a tripod in a public space taking evening shots of a bridge. A guy walks into my personal space and no mask and asks me what I'm taking pictures of. I back away saying I'm taking pictures of the bridge. He then proceeds to put his hands on my camera and wrench it a few degrees on the tripod. Dude!...that's locked down! He tells to to try that angle and walks away. What the hell just happened ?!?
Doggie introvert syndrome? Brilliant. Better than "affluenza!" :-)
Chelsea is so funny:-)
Best quote: Your face look young but your hair looks old...and your face to that:-) Gorgeous!
If I knew any better and she was a complete stranger that came out of nowhere, I'd say she was flirting with you.
+NJA2k8 LOL sure thing, by finally telling him... the other photographer is better than you are ... I guess she was frustrated? ;)
The thing that is annoying me currently is when I am in a public hide and doing my own thing I keep getting directions from the bird watchers. I will be happily photographing something flying or floating around and they will be like - "over there - it's a Kestrel - get a picture!" After politely looking for the bird for a minute or so I will find it on the horizon about a mile away. Just because the lens is large it doesn't mean it is 50 mag. :)
You guys are hysterical. Love this!
