Photography and other people

Just a little survey on other peoples photographic lives.

When I am out taking pics and the OH is with me [or Luke] they always look bored.[unless Luke has his camera]

I could sit and take pics of boats for ages but I am aware it might not be fun for them. lol.

My oh supports me 100% in my wedding/portrait photography [probably cause it pays for our holidays ect ha ha ]

What are your experiences with the others in your life regarding your picture taking?

I tend to make a deal with kids, if I am taking them somewhere that is good for photos, I promise them to not take too many and then put it away. If it is a kid thing I am doing, I often don't take my camera, as I don't think it is fair on them, especially at the weekends, that is their time.

Im quite lucky really my dad was the one who got me into photography so he never minds.

I've got noone to answer to, so I'm quids in. LOL

I wouldn't take anyone with me unless I knew they would enjoy the walk, or have their own camera, or it was them I was taking pics of - it can't be much fun watching someone else take pics!

I do take my camera most places we visit, OH is prettyy used to me saying hold the dogs i just want to take a pic of that..
i do go out quite a bit alone too which i really enjoy, kinda feel like a kid again in my own world behind a lens

Karen's a saint although I try not to rub it in. The amount of times she's sat in the car reading her book whilst I just 'pop' here or there LOL.

I've been known to leave my camera at home though because I know how frustrating it will be for me having it on the backseat of the car and wanting to stop every 5 miles for a picture.

That said, sometimes a picture just needs to be taken and my selfish side kicks in.

To be honest - I tend to take my best pictures when I'm alone as I feel less rushed.

my OH always tells me he dont mind but i know he's bored coz he always carried on walking while im snapping away but then i do feel rushed Now i passed my driving i can go places while he's in work photography is always on my mind and i tend to talk about it even while he's trying to watch telly and pretend to be interest in what im saying !
bless him lol he a saint for putting up with me withering on and on and on

Usually only take the camera when I am alone, mind you we are inclined to have our own interests and therefore our leisure time is often spent separately.

My mum usually tells me to take my camera with me if we are going out a walk (with or without dogs), But I tend to leave it in the house most of the time. If mum, dad and myself are going out for the day then I take all 3 camera's and share for example couple months back the three of us went to the Falkirk Wheel for a coffee and my dad used my 300d and my mum used my fuji, all of us got some nice pics

I don't like to take it if I am the only one with a camera as I feel like I'm holding them up or being a pain etc
