Seems like one could just pick off the POTUS quite easily , no?


ZOom lens or not, seems pretty close, yes?

But it doesn't seem THAT close...

Thats a brilliant shot, was trying to get similar one with Concorde but only got lucky a few times out of countless thousands of times.

Takes a lot of skill to time it just right or to zoom the lens in and click at split second.

I wouldn't worry too much...that photographer was very likely being watched through a rifle scope the entire time he was there.
