Do you do it alone?
Just wondering what everyone prefers to do when they go out looking for photo opportunities... Do you take a friend/partner/family member or do you go it alone?
I prefer to take Kim out with me, but sometimes i think she gets bored
I don't feel as rushed either when im on my own... I guess it depends where and what I'm photographing

I don't think it's fair on the other person if they are not taking pics as well... imagine how bored they must get (I know I would be!).
So will only take someone if they're happy to just 'enjoy the scenery' or the walk

Good lord! I was afraid to click on this thread cause of the title. lol But I braved it.
In the answer to the question I prefer to go out on my own but most of the time my 6 year old is with me.
As you said I feel less rushed when on my own, I can take the same thing twenty times if I like, without someone huffing and puffing behind me ha ha

On my own. I can be as selfish as I like then. Having said that Hannah came with me yesterday.

I prefer having my OH with me, sometimes he gets a bit bored but more often than not we'll take the dogs on a hike with us and he'll just wander around with them whilst I take a photo

I take the Dogs with me if I'm walking somewhere.
Mum comes if I go to Kew or a stately home.
Most of the time I go out alone
