Our photographically-challenged Prime Minister

[sockeyed]

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper apparently doesn't get out and shoot very much.

At least he's not holding it out like a zombie, a la P&S style

LOL!! That is funny!

From RFF member Filmgoerjuan:

"Ben, don't diss the PM just because he's gotten an advanced copy of the Canon 5D Mark II with the super-secret 580EX Mark III...where the "Live View" is in the flash!

You're just going to make yourself look stupid when Canon announces it next week."

At least there isn't a cap on the lens.

I wonder what he expected to see... At least, like Erik said, there's no cap on the lens!

That's the only funny thing that Harper has done all his life.

Actually that is the new SB 123 flash unit that has its own viewfinder

There's a CBC radio show called "As It Happens" that's aired on the local public radio station down here. I gather they ran some audio clip of American tourists being asked questions about the Canadian elections, and the results are humorous -- probably showing our complete lack of knowledge about Canadian politics.

I confess I wouldn't have been able to identify Harper from a photo; whether his face is obscured by a flash or not makes no difference!

there's a few classic captures out there:

Wonder if he prefers a prime lens over a zoom lens?

Harper's thoughts: "Are you sure the lens cap is off? Boy, I must really have a blind eye towards the people of Canada!"

Or: "Protesters? What Protesters."

 

[rpsawin]

Maybe the heat from the flash feels good on his third eye???

Periscope, guys, periscope.

 

[35mmdelux]

you gotta power up that flash on a bright sunny day.

BTW does the PM know he is supposed to look thru the camera eyepiece and not thru the flash unit? LOL.

 

[wintoid]

In my opinion, his mistake is that the flashgun is pointing the wrong way

Maybe he's still better off than the mentally challenged (Republican) US President.
