YOP Questions for all
Just a bit of fun & I'm not sure if people will reply but I thought I'd ask a few questions to see what people like/do/want/thought etc.
I've not added my answers yet as I thought it would be easier to swipe the empty questions to use in your reply.
If there's enough replies I'll reply at the end.
What is your favourite 'type' of photography ?
Where would you most like to go to take photograhs ?
If you could have a portrait session - Who would you most like to photograph ?
If you could improve 1 thing about your photography skills - what would it be ?
Apart from your camera and lens/es - what single item of your kit would you pick next ?
How many photographs do you take in an average week ?
If you went out for the day taking photographs and using one was possible - what % (roughly) of your shots would you use a tripod for ?
Do you feel comfortable taking pictures out in public or do you like privacy ?
If you could have any camera for free what would it be ?
Do you think photographic equipment is overpriced ?
Is your photographic equipment insured ?
When did you last have a roll of film developed ?
Do you have/use lens filters ?
Does 'photoshop' prevent people from improving their camera skills ?
How many of your digital images do you actually print / get printed ?
Do you have a favourite photo that you've taken - if so what is it and why ? (post it if you like)

What is your favourite 'type' of photography ?
Landscape
Where would you most like to go to take photograhs ?
Himalayas perhaps - somewhere with big mountains anyway
If you could have a portrait session - Who would you most like to photograph ?
I'm no good at portraits but erm - Pele or Billy Connolly perhaps
If you could improve 1 thing about your photography skills - what would it be ?
knowing what shutter speeds to use without getting it wrong 5 times first.
Apart from your camera and lens/es - what single item of your kit would you pick next ?
Have to be my tripod
How many photographs do you take in an average week ?
About 100 (more than double that on a single crazy day though)
If you went out for the day taking photographs and using one was possible - what % (roughly) of your shots would you use a tripod for ?
About 75%
Do you feel comfortable taking pictures out in public or do you like privacy ?
I get really self conscious - I like quiet places
If you could have any camera for free what would it be ?
Nikon D3 - or a medium format
Do you think photographic equipment is overpriced ?
I know why optics can cost so much but digital camera bodies seem a bit steep.
Is your photographic equipment insured ?
No - although I think the house contents may cover them
When did you last have a roll of film developed ?
Must be 3 years ago at least
Do you have/use lens filters ?
A circular polarizer & a UV filter - use sometimes but only fit one lens I have
Does 'photoshop' prevent people from improving their camera skills ?
I could go either way but I'll say yes just because I might keep a shot I might otherwise bin and reshoot knowing It can be improved a bit.
How many of your digital images do you actually print / get printed ?
Hardly any - must do some though
Do you have a favourite photo that you've taken - if so what is it and why ? (post it if you like)
No I don't have a favourite. I'll pick this one though as I was pleased with the result as it's not my usual kind of thing.

What is your favourite 'type' of photography ?
Nature / Wildlife
Where would you most like to go to take photograhs ?
Somewhere exotic!
If you could have a portrait session - Who would you most like to photograph ?
Hmm this one's tough! Someone who would make an interesting topic I guess
If you could improve 1 thing about your photography skills - what would it be ?
Am I allowed to say I want more kit? And patience too!
Apart from your camera and lens/es - what single item of your kit would you pick next ?
A good flash - like the SB800 followed by a nice tripod
How many photographs do you take in an average week ?
Not enough these days thanks to the weather!!
If you went out for the day taking photographs and using one was possible - what % (roughly) of your shots would you use a tripod for ?
Maybe a third?

None yet
Do you have a favourite photo that you've taken - if so what is it and why ? (post it if you like)
Not really lol - I like one of Rocky I took with an old P&S, but thats more because of the memory of the day than anything else

What is your favourite 'type' of photography ? When I see something I simply have to capture no matter what the subject
Where would you most like to go to take photograhs ? Would like to return to Norway and this time take advantage of the opportunities on offer to get a great shot.
If you could have a portrait session - Who would you most like to photograph ? No particular person but I think female, young and with unspoilt skin.
If you could improve 1 thing about your photography skills - what would it be ? Too many skills to name but I would love to be able to kneel.
Apart from your camera and lens - what single item of your kit would you pick next ? Tripod
How many photographs do you take in an average week ? Does depend on what else I am doing sometimes none, sometimes 600
If you went out for the day taking photographs and using one was possible - what % (roughly) of your shots would you use a tripod for ? All
Do you feel comfortable taking pictures out in public or do you like privacy ? Yes most of the time but I am concerned when there are children about.
If you could have any camera for free what would it be ? Oh, now that is a problem, do I go for a medium format or an old plate camera, not sure it is so easy to dream.
Do you think photographic equipment is overpriced ? I have no idea, it is a ever moving relatively small market so probably not. Although I think sundry items very often are.
Is your photographic equipment insured ? Yes
When did you last have a roll of film developed ? About 3 years ago
Do you have/use lens filters ? yes/no apart from a Polaroid
Does 'photoshop' prevent people from improving their camera skills ? No it stimulates imagination and that encourages the taking of better more original images.
How many of your digital images do you actually print / get printed ? Very few are printed as images but many are used as part of unrelated graphic work and webs.
Do you have a favourite photo that you've taken - if so what is it and why ? (post it if you like) Yes, but the one I prefer today will not be that I would choose tomorrow.

What is your favourite 'type' of photography ?
At the moment Still Life, and Flowers, but I want to do more Landscapes
Where would you most like to go to take photograhs ?
Scotland or the Lake District, so I can do more Landscapes
If you could have a portrait session - Who would you most like to photograph ?
Robert De Niro, in Black and White in New York
If you could improve 1 thing about your photography skills - what would it be ?
Too many areas need work at the moment
Apart from your camera and lens - what single item of your kit would you pick next ?
Haven't really got much else, so maybe my reflector
How many photographs do you take in an average week ?
Way too many, but I am learningso that is my excuse
If you went out for the day taking photographs and using one was possible - what % (roughly) of your shots would you use a tripod for ?
[font="Georgia"]I don't , I just can't get to grips with using one, I'd use a rock or a fence post, if I have too, but I have fairly steady hands too. [/FONT]
Do you feel comfortable taking pictures out in public or do you like privacy ?
Doesn't bother me, it did at first,but not now
If you could have any camera for free what would it be ?I'd be more than happy with the Olympus E3
Do you think photographic equipment is overpriced ?
Well, I wish it was cheaper
Is your photographic equipment insured ?
Yes
When did you last have a roll of film developed ?
LOL Today
Do you have/use lens filters ?
Yes
Does 'photoshop' prevent people from improving their camera skills ?
I don't think so, because no matter how much stuff you do to a bad picture, it is still a bad picture
How many of your digital images do you actually print / get printed ?
Only a few so far, but I am intending to get a few done soon
Do you have a favourite photo that you've taken - if so what is it and why ? (post it if you like)
LOL it changes every week
But probably this one,because it means something to me, as it is my Grandads book, and he loved the book, so it is in remembrance of him, and it turned out as I wanted, which is very rare for me
