things that piss me off when trying to take pics

[Herceg]

What do you hate more: someone/something that gets in the way of that awesome shot, a security guard acting all big and pushing you around ,seeing a nice car and having your camera dying on you or having a guy blow by without you getting a chance to pull out the camera? You pick, add more i forgot a couple so you decide

[ZfrkS62]

how about having a shitty camera that couldn't take a night shot to save the world?

[BADMIHAI]

I sometimes hate being too shy to take a bazillion pics of someone's car on the street. You never know what the owner might think, or who he might be, especially if he has a really nice car. Other than that, I love photography and hate nothing about it.

Buying a camera, using it for 50 pics top (most ebay products) and never using it again...

Oh and also, not having another camera to picture the camera I mentioned above, and use that camera to take pics of the other camera, ultimatelly ending in the eBay sale of BOTH!

albiet, im pretty lazy about posting my own pictures, ive never had a bad experience when the owner 'catches' me taking pictures, also, they have never said no ... just ocasionally 'can i be in the shot!' or 'oh no, as long as im not in the picture'

[runningpun]sure, it takes some balls to go up with a camera... but it takes an ass to ruin the event... which makes it pretty gay when that happens... but until you take your shot, you are just a pussy[/runningpun]

I only ran into one occasion of this. And it wasn't the owner that told me to go away. it was the truck dirver who was carrying the Ferrari 365 i posted back in september.

I hate when ppl get in the shot because they don't understand what you want to take in your picture. Sometimes to have a clear shot with nobody in it I had to wait up to 5 minutes. In some places like Monte Carlo or any busy street it is almost impossible, but when there isn't much ppl around and then a loony, despite seeing me crounching and aiming, pops up and start looking inside the car, it really makes me mad.. it happened with a white Diablo by the lake some weeks ago.. 5 guys came, I am SURE they noticed I was taking pics, and without even say something they were suddently all around the car screaming stupid shit (they were spanish so I didnt understand much).. and well, if only I had a rifle :roll:

In town it's ok to have ppl inside the picture, but when the car is well placed in a less populated area, definitely not

I also hate to come back home, sure I took good pics, to find out 50% of them were blurry because of the "polarizer filter / not enough light / no tripod" combo :roll: it happened some time ago :roll:

i totally agree

other than that, i just worry about the owner seeing me taking pics, since you never know what will happen.

That's the worst one.

If somebody is in my way and if that person is not the owner, I just tell them to get out of the picture. Never got any complaints....

The last time that happened was at the gas station, when I took pics of the 308 gts. Some guys were crawling all over the car.....

There were 4 of them and when I told them to move they were going like:

wtf, who are you? And I looked at them in silence for about 3 seconds and they moved.... I was a bit scared but the bluff worked. It usualy does....

behold .. mazda Rx-8

Seeing Carrera GT, Enzo or Zonda and realizing that you have no camera... at all

[crayzayjay]

Seeing a classic 911 2.7RS for the first time ever a few hours ago and not having a camera to take a pic :x

I also hate it when you see a stunning car on the road - usually one you've never seen before - and a bus or truck stops in front of it, then moves off in the same direction and at the same speed as the car so you don't catch another glimpse... Irritating.

[possessed_beaver]

i hate it when im going to take a photo of a passing car, or something that only has a few second window to take the picture, and i turn my camera on and it's in MOVIE MODE.. not happy


also when i have left the camera on long shutter from the night before and i will go the next day to take a picture, and i only get this white bright light...
and when i fuck up the iso setting and have alot of white dotty pictures...
