Hacks as professional photographer's worst nightmares?

If you had read the article properly, you'd find out that the photographer didn't exercise any techniques that even the most novice of beginners would do, no matter what camera they were using. It's not the cameras he used at all. He's a typical snapshooter, just like you are, no doubt. Just like any DSLR owner, they think if they buy an expensive camera it automatically turns them into a pro. Like you, no matter what camera is in your hands, you'll still **** it up. |

Hilarious letter to Amateur Photographer magazine for July 11th. Guy shows up at a wedding (a pro photo) with a bridge camera and a P&S! The camera doesn't make that much difference provided it is half way decent. It is the brain behind the camera that matters. RichA would not understand this because he lacks one of these useful appendages. Produces crap of course, much to the chagrin of the victims. That's what you get for being a lazy, casual slob when it comes to photography. But the P&S camera did fit in his pocket, I guess. When I am a wedding guest I carry an unobstrusive pocketable P&S. I am expert at snapping candid shots and stealing views of the photographers setup poses without ever getting in his way. I always ask first if he minds and stay well back. The guy moaning in the article should have been able to steal a shot of any poses without being quite so in your face about it to the professional. Here is a copy of the letter: http://www.pbase.com/andersonrm/imag...18476/original You DSLR-Trolls sure are desperate. If I was as insecure as you I could waste my time and surf the net to find 10X's as many examples of snapshooting DSLR owners just as bad, if not worse. It is odd. But even pros have bad days. I have been in the position of shooting a wedding video for my own amusement at a friends wedding that turned out considerably better than the official one. I have a very steady hand and chose my line of sight carefully to catch the whole ceremony. If you had read the article properly, you'd find out that the photographer didn't exercise any techniques that even the most novice of beginners would do, no matter what camera they were using. It's not the cameras he used at all. He's a typical snapshooter, just like you are, no doubt. Weddings require the special skill of making the bride look great and bossing large crowds of semi-inebriated guests around in various permutations. I would not want to do a wedding photographers job but I have been a second camera a few times catching backup shots of big groups, informal views of guests and bridesmaids. Just like any DSLR owner, they think if they buy an expensive camera it automatically turns them into a pro. Like you, no matter what camera is in your hands, you'll still **** it up. Another common amateur mistake is to use unfamiliar kit on the big day. I don't have any particular affiliation to SLR or P&S I have both and have had since the days of small high quality 35mm P&S film cameras. I luckily avoided the illfated APS junk and went straight to Ixus digital. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Photo_System I had some pretty good wedding shots on that humble 2MP Ixus too.

You're wasting your time replying to and trying to reason with the ng's resident anti-DSLR sock puppet troll. Here's what it had to say about wedding photography just over two years posting in r.p.d. using the temp. nym TryinToHelp You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble by listening to the #1 Photography Rule of all: THE #1 of all #1 Photography Rules NEVER shoot ANY wedding. Not even a king's, queen's nor president's wedding. Shooting ANY wedding is about as low in the photography-career slum-gutter as you will ever get. They are best left to those that are young, are just learning, and don't even have basic common sense. |

No man in the world would go back 2 years to try find something to throw into an argument, which may or may not even be factual. ROFLMAO! I wonder how many hours or days of her life she wasted poring through tomes and tomes of saved comments. LOL!!!!! Oh, too funny! LOL ASSAR, The-can't-even-stalk-anyone-properly,-Shemale-Troll. LOL! Oh the humor! Make them stop! LOL! |

I have a DSLR but I also alway carry around a small compact P&S with me for the times I see something I want to photograph and am not lugging around the DSLR. I'm never without a camera thanks to my Nikon Coolpix that fits in my pocket with ease. |
