There are so many selfish people in this world. Too many. They do not care about anybody else. I know that there are big examples with various conspiracy theories and corporate evils, but those I know only second or third hand. Personally I see only small things. When somebody jumps in front of you with their car just because you left a safe distance from the car in front of you. Or those that cut long lines while others are patiently waiting. We all know those people, I'm sure. Hey, at least you all know me, and I do these things every once in a while too. :)
There is equally annoying group of people that have no idea that they are cause of your Pain (ITA). Like these boaters that just had to be between me and the ship when they fired a cannon. From their point of view this was just a quick trip to see an interesting ship. My point of view had to be changed fast, as I had to run to the other end of the pier and take more pics before the smoke dissipated. Words that escaped my mouth while running where not in English and translation would be very X rated.
Once I had time to go through my shots, I realized that this was a great photo as long as the title is set appropriately. It is a fact that the ship fired the cannon when the boat came close, so I prefer to spin the story as:
"When a nosy speed boat came too close for their comfort, a pirate ship fired a warning shot. It is pity that boat didn't come closer, as I was ready to take the role of the war correspondent and document the whole incident."

Photography is about the story. If one picture is worth a thousand words, a few more well placed can give it a totally new meaning and making it much more fun. :)

Није лако ни гусар бити. Никада не знаш да ли ти прилази туриста или полиција. Зато треба увек бити спреман и имати напуњен топ. Овим радозналцима је био довољна једна салва да схвате поруку и не прилазе ближе. Штета, јер сам био спреман да сликам тотално уништење чамца. Таман сам био у доброј позицији да их ухватим заједно.

Заиста права штета. Можда би требало да идем на летовање у Сомалију. Тамо има више чамаца који су гађани и погађани, а недовољно слика о тим догађајима. Ко зна зашто је то тако? :)
