When you're willing to run down the street barefoot in your robe in the wee hours of the morning lugging a camera on tripod so you can capture a lunar eclipse.
When you bring your camera everywhere....including to the dentist office ! @lisabell I can't believe I missed the Blood Moon! Great link @taffy .My biggest joy is making crap look good!
You mean there's a reason to travel other than to take pictures of the places you go? LOL! Yep, this describes me. Except it doesn't say, will do anything to get the perfect picture. My kids are always complaining because I'm always stopping to take picture! LOL!
@mzzhope Unfortunately, I blew it! I’ve shot the moon before, but not at slower shutter speeds so mine were blurry. I should have done my research! Live and learn!
@lisabell I can relate to that, I sometimes wonder what the neighbors think about the crazy lady wandering around the yard in p.j.s early on a Saturday or Sunday morning!
ok - i have NEVER had anyone criticize my camera... ask questions, sometimes really stupid questions (does your camera take good pictures?), but never criticize it... what's up with that?
@northy@mzzhope True...I wondered at that one, though I've had people say that my camera really does well. Yep...we all have I suspect. I could think of more and have enjoyed the thread seeing what others have added.
@lisabell Haha! Or setting an alarm for 4:00 in the morning so you can get up and see if you have a good enough view to stay up... [though I admit, I went back to sleep, totally wimping out of a good photo op]
@homeschoolmom Totally agree...photography is WHY we travel, isn't it?
Great article, we can all relate I'm sure. I try not to be offended when someone says my camera take nice photos... obviously they can't get the same from their camera so it has to be the camera's fault, right?
I don't get this : "For instance, maybe you decide to go for a walk down to the beach and accidentally leave your camera sitting on the kitchen bench."
Whaaaaat? It's possible to get out of a house/cabin/tent, whatever *without* taking one? Really??
