Some of you guys need to lighten up. I wonder if you even smile if asked to be in a photo. Can’t take a families picture because it’s not on your business card. If you want more than one picture it’s going cost you. The point is the person had no issues taking pictures and actually liked helping others but is quite clueless when it comes to the task. | |||

Honestly, I'm rarely 'asked' to take a picture...And that's because if I notice a couple/family/group in the process of taking one, or preparing to do so, I'll offer to take one so everyone can get in the shot if it seems appropriate and there's an opportunity to offer to do so. But that's just me...  ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !! Trump 2024....Save America!

Clueless? Were they getting paid? LMAO. You ask a stranger to do something then whine the stranger didn’t do things to your liking? I think some of you need to lighten up. “A stranger didn’t do it like I want but I didn’t give the complete stranger complete instructions.” Oh my. Even in Ronin when DeNiro is trying to get photos of the case at the hotel with the beautiful lady he tells the stranger to just keep firing away and taking multiple shots. Blame yourself for poor comms, not a complete stranger. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Try reading my original post again or for the first time. I said nothing about asking a stranger. It was a friends mother-in-law who was in our group. | |||

I'm with Prefontaine and the others. The point isn't whether it was a complete stranger or a friend's mother-in-law; it's that you told them to "take a picture...." They did; they took a picture. The "clueless" arrow is pointing more in your direction than at anyone else. You can take this as a learning moment or continue to ask people to "take a picture" hoping to get a different result. You may get a different result but it won't be because of your ability to give clear directions. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I would have taken several photos, but I wouldn't complain if someone did me a favor and just took one. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

At least, back to the Sony Mavica with 3 1/2" floppy disks. ____________________ | |||

Well at least they took one picture, I asked someone to take a picture of me at the summit of Beartooth Pass in Wyoming, they smiled and agreed but later that day I checked and they hadn't taken even one picture. | |||

If I'm asked to do this, I always look at the photo first. If I think it looks good, I'll ask them. If they want another, fine with me. If I thought the first one sucked, I'll take more. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

Go back to hte origins of Photography and there was a lot of work that went into producing just one image. Bask at the start you have the daguerotype process as outline below. Note "crazy as a bedbug" might be an apt description of Photographers at that time. Louis Daguerre called his invention "daguerreotype." His method, which he disclosed to the public late in the summer of 1839, consisted of treating silver-plated copper sheets with iodine to make them sensitive to light, then exposing them in a camera and "developing" the images with warm mercury vapor. Anyone want to step up and develop an image in a darkened tent while breathing in warm mercury vapors? I've stopped counting. | |||
