Hey, ummm DS, after you've bedazzled her with your brilliance you are supposed to ask if she wants to model for you.

The other day, me sitting in an Irish pub with some mates, and the bartender comes over and says what I can only assume to be his best entry in the first annual international most oblivious awards, "hey that's a big camera" and walks off, thus ending the most pointless waste of breath I have ever seen a living being take.

Seriously????? It's big????? I didn't notice I carry around a 10 pound bag everywhere...... Thanks for pointing it out

He baught me a new toy and wanted to take pictures of me using it.

Am I the only one that caught this? I'm really hoping this doesn't mean what I think it does.

Well, I have nothing really out of the ordinary to contribute since I'm pretty new but what the hey.

I'm down by this lake in town shooting ducks and pigeons when out of nowhere this german or polish guy walks up to me and starts up a convo.

Guy: You shooting the birds?
Me: Yep, I just got here.
Guy: I take my camera with me all the time, I like to take pictures.
(pulls out his D80)
Me: Oh, a D80. I've got a D40, it's not quite as nice as...
Guy: Oh no?! Let me see yours
(I hand it to him)
Guy: Oh, what was dee price on this camera?
Me: Well it retails for $699 here.
Guy: Well I like my camera. Do you know there is a competition going around for photographers? You submit best picture, you can win prize. Picture for phonebook cover, through NorthernTel.
Me: Oh... hmm.. well that's something to check out then.
Guy: Yes, well have fun!

I guess I find it funny when another photographer engages in convo with you, it's like you've been friends for your whole life. They just seem so friendly. I'm not sure the conversation would have carried on like that if he had a P&S though. :lmao:

I also find it funny when you are taking a picture and people practically dive out of the way so they're not in your shot. Women will scream at their kids to get out of the "photographer's" shot, like we have more power than the Pope.

haha, that happened to me last night. I was getting a shot of some deer in a field off to the right of the road so I pulled over and a car on the complete other side of the road stopped so I could take a picture... they dont make lenses that wide:mrgreen:

Haha. I used to get that from complete strangers about my old gripless 400D and 50mm 1.8

 

[Garbz]

That almost qualifies as a point and shoot :lmao:

So last yesterday I was standing at a corner waiting for a band to show up for a shoot. I had my backpack on with a tipd on oneside and lightstand on the other xt/grip and 70-200 f/4 around my neck photo vest on and on the floor a little case with weights an umbrella. This guy walks by and says

Him -"Hard day at the office?"
Me - Gives a little smile
Him - "Well go get 'em tiger"

 

[Zoso]

I guess I am quite little so the camera looks quite big on me, especially since I take it everywhere festivals, the pub what not and bring it out, some people get a bit of a shock

 

[Davehimself]

this is more of a scary story then a happy one... so about 2 weeks ago i went at night to shoot our local lake, every week they hold a midnight fishing bash where people fish until midnight so the boats are all lit up and what not. so i get on the trail and head to the edge of the lake, there is a hill the leads down to a beach so i set up my tripod and start shooting, there happens to be a couple of guys on the beach below me fishing, im just mindin my own, when all of a sudden this guy who is walking on the trail behind me yells out something like "hey motherf*****" i just ignore him since he is still 100 or so feet behind me. so i look away and then he blurts out "hey son of a ***** coward", i was like he cant be talking to me, can he, he got closer and closer still blurting out random things directed towards me, i thought he was drunk or something, but he passed me up and took the stairs down to the beach, i was relived i was soo ready to grab my tripod and use it in defense, so i relaxed, but now i hear the guy telling his friends about me, i was in disbelief at this guy, then i finally hear him say "you wanna go get that coward" and his friend replied " ya lets go kick his A**" they start walking towards the stairs thats when i booked it out of there running with my tripod while my camera's shutter was still open, thank god the parking lot was only about 300 feet away, i only got 4 exposures that night.

anybody else had there shooting experience ruined by total jerks ?( theres a worse word i want to say but dont want to get banned)

max0matosis (4:49:22 PM): my friend wants to know what kind of camera you have
ihavethebullets (4:49:43 PM): canon rebel xt
ihavethebullets (4:49:51 PM): but tell them it isnt the camera that made the pics
