How do you guys feel about people asking you to take pictures at family-like events? Not in an official capacity but in a "hey you have a nice camera so come..." type capacity.

I've done this twice in the last 7 days and here are my frustrations...


  • [*]EVERYBODY has a camera these days. I cant even capture a good candid shot because someone's arm is in my way with their shytty cell phone camera.
  • The people that ask me to take pics are taking picture themselves with a point and shoot and uploading them to facebook asap. What's the point of me going thru LR and stuff to show you the same pic?

Also, what does everyone hope to do with their camera? I wanna do street, portrait, and candids. Taking pictures of family and events is kinda wack to me. I might stop bringing my camera. Plus shooting and focusing with primes and working around people is work.
I hate this shyt. Dont ask me to shoot if you think your shot is more imprtant than mine. :bryan:

None of them are as interesting as the ones I seen posted by yall but this the first time using a dslr

How you liking the camera? What lense did you get with it? I should be getting a 60D tomorrow. You still need a link to Lightroom?

Loving the camera. I got the EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS (came with it), and EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lll.
