Don't get me started on this. I know it's frustrating but those people want to enjoy themselves too and at a crowded exhibition like this you often can't move without getting in someones way. You shouldn't shout at them-especially if they're children as they are our future and without them, most of those engines will end up at best with a dusty retirement on a plinth somewhere.
I rememeber when I went to the Groudle Glen Railway gala in July-absolubtley FANTASTIC. But the second day was spoiled by a selfish photographer who lectured me when I got in the way of his video. One selfish man tainted the entire weekend. I also remember, when I was 10, going to the Bluebell Railway's 2001 "Winter Steam Up" gala. I didn't very often get the chance to go to galas then so this was quite exciting for me. But again, the day was spoiled by a selfish photographer who, when I accidentally moved into his shot, said not a polite "Could you move, please?" but "Oi!". B******.
My golden rule of photography is "don't get cross with people who get in the way. They have a right to be there too." And I have very little respect for those who do not share the same philospy.
