What still blows me away is when the camera companies compare the lens to be equivalent to the 35 mm something or other. Never had a 35 mm camera. Used to have Kodak Instamatic. Other stuff too complicated for me. I just take a ton of pictures and pick the great ones. Setting? I don’t know what they mean. Take picture and see if it looks good under the condition. Use bracketing to get HDR….but that’s me..

Well done, Paul! I’ve been asked on several occasions to shoot weddings because people see me with a camera/lens and tripod and think: BRIDE?! Reasons I will never do it: #1 I’m not a professional. #2 I prefer to lay on the dirty ground, waiting for bison, moose or elk to appear. #3 If I can’t wear jeans and a ball cap, I don’t want to be shooting. :P

One other comment I’m sure you and many others get on a very regular basis when spotted out in the field with gear in hand: “Are you a photographer???”

Love it! :)

These comments made me smile for sure. Especially number 1 (Family Portraits can also be used instead of Weddings. hehe)

I have heard these things so many times. I agree about weddings. I’d rather face a 20-ft wave at close range than a bride and mother!
