Frank Thats interesting being a woman photographer I work alot with kids, also i notice when i am out and about with male photographer friends I can get away with candid shots of kids playing on a beach or park where as my male friends just WONT point a camera towards a child, why ? because of this perceived view that any male taking a picture of a random child is a pedophile
This is so wrong, to me what better wasy to capture the whole innocent childhood life then a sneaky photo,
I didnt know it was that hard for men to be out and about with a camera,
On the other hand though its not easy for us women either, I personally draw aline at nude photography because i do a lot of child and family portraits so the two dont really go together, but alot of males do seem to think i am interested in their personally bits
also as a hobby i like landscapes and seascapes but have got to the point where i hate going out alone as i feel threatened and frightens when i am alone with all my kit, and on a few occassions i have been really glad of another males presence
It shouldnt be like this,
sorry if i came across a bit snotty about photographers but with doing weddings and things i have noticed a decline this year and had a few cancellations as Uncle Tom will take our wedding pictures for free then the tears when they come to me later and ask if there is anything i can do with the images
some aspects of taking picture require that you know your camera inside out and that you can judge light conditions and know when to use fill flash or a reflector this is the aspect that annoys me with novice camera uses
I agree people need to learn but before shooting important weddings one should go on a course with a more qualified photographer
