The things Photographers Do

February 11th, 2010
Hi everyone, this is nothing tips/technical related, but something that just might make us laugh at ourselves. I couldn't resist.

Any of it reminds you of something that you may have done? I'm guilty of a couple of poses for that "perfect" shot.

haha, Pari, thanks for the laugh. And for some of the pictures, I totally admire how dedicated those real photographers are in order to have a "perfect shot". Nothing comes easy, as they say!

Hilarious! I honestly laughed out loud at the guy knocking the vase over with his butt.

There should be a new Summer Olympic sport. Photography Gymnastics. I'm guilty of contorting myself into many of the same poses featured in the webpage. And that's why I carry Tylenol whenever I shoot. Invariably I'm going to hurt something.. LOL

Hahaha! So funny! But a good photo is worth anything, right?!!! That´s why I should always wear black clothes!
February 13th, 2010

I see myself so may of these pictures.
I almost fell off a mountain in Alabama and would have if another photographer hadn't grabbed me.
I climbed over the safety rail at the Grand Canyon and climbed out on an outcropping to get a better sunrise picture.
I don't know why the elks at Yellowstone and the moose with her calf at Lake Tahoe didn't attack me. I was way too close to them. And then there was the mother bear in Gatlinburg that swiped the air with her paw right were I had been standing moments before. So much for flash shots of bears in the dark.
I rarely go out to take photos when my clothes aren't dirty from climbing up on things, or laying, sitting, or kneeling on the ground. At the Birmingham Zoo I was laying on my stomach shooting under the fence when a running child rounded the corner and stepped on me. I laughed. The child laughed. The mother apologized and fussed at her child. lol I tried to explain it was my fault for laying down right in way. rofl

February 14th, 2010
I'd love to see the shots that resulted from all those wacky poses! I've been known to get on the ground for a shot but have yet to hide in the water...
February 15th, 2010

April 29th, 2010

September 15th, 2010
A lot of those made me laugh, but I loved the tiny umbrella for the camera!
September 17th, 2010
I love it!! It is good to see that I am not the only one.
October 1st, 2010
Very funny!
October 2nd, 2010
I love it! *bookmarked for when I need a laugh*

I have some funny photos of myself in weird positions while shooting. It's not fun unless you're rolling around on the ground, getting dirty, right?!
October 2nd, 2010
lol...great link.
October 3rd, 2010
Haha, those are awesome!
October 5th, 2010
I love the guy with the umbrella!
October 11th, 2010
HAHAHA that is too funny!! I too am guilty of a few of those angles!

@phung I don't believe the lion one either. Otherwise someone should have told him that's what zoom lenses are for!!

Thanks for posting this. I am still laughing!! Only photographers understand it though. Everyone else just gives us the eyebrow.
