In all honesty - honestly - I have recently been through something very similar:
Setting up my camera to photograph a church.
Roz comes over.
I explain myself immediately - Mordorian Police - as now well publicized - are quite keen enthusiasts of quashing potential terrorism.
A Vagabond: I was just photographing the church door - see - here are the pics - just photos of the church door, see?
Copper: Yeah yeah yeah. Is that an EOS 450?
A Vagabond: Yeah - good camera.
Copper: My missus got me one of those for Christmas - how are you getting on with it?
We stood and chatted camera-geekery for half an hour, and now - somewhat ironically - meet up and go out shooting together.
