You were just walking along, minding your own business, when suddenly.... email this discussion to a friend?

....a potential subject! However, some digital cameras take so long to "boot". Then your subject goes away. And you get so upset. Have you had similar experiences?

Yes, I have had this happen to me on several occassions. My shutter speed on my digital camera is so slow that I usually miss the shot if my subjects don't hold still long enough for the camera to decide that it is ready to take the picture!

glare

I really need to get a better camera.

lol

Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

happy

This actually happens to me a lot. I'll be driving and suddenly I see it. My eye captures the right area or object in sight. Then I realize the camera is in the trunk. What happens next is just a huge disappointment. Hahaha

I still manage to find things to take a picture of though. Photography is my life.

Have a great night.

i know exactly what you mean!*kicking the bumper of the car*


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1591)   ranked 390 out of 3,139 in photography  1 year ago

so do you earn from your photography or is it really just a hobby?


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3,121 out of 3,139 in photography  1 year ago

It's really both. I have been doing photography for as long as I can remember. It's probably 10 years but it wasn't until more recent times that I have been able to market myself better. Check out the photographs I have posted so far on my site at Deviant Art.

wow, just look at the years you've been doing this thing. I must say you must be good at what you do!!


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1591)   ranked 390 out of 3,139 in photography  1 year ago

hi leonela, i visited the site and I was just impressed by the shots. I especially loved the ones you took with the rivers, and little waterfalls, and the bird by the river. That's ten years of pure talent! I love it. Thumbs up for you. Thumbs up!


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3,121 out of 3,139 in photography  1 year ago

Thanks, did u join the site? You can just bookmark it and check often for more pictures.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1591)   ranked 390 out of 3,139 in photography  12 months ago

i did, i even signed up. i had problems though with uploading. alwayscomplains about too small pics


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3,121 out of 3,139 in photography  12 months ago

There is a minimum on the pixels for the pictures. I always am uploading 4mp pictures so I never see that error. Are the pictures in jpg?


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1591)   ranked 390 out of 3,139 in photography  12 months ago

4mp? Oh maybe I need to adjust the resolution on my camera because I adjusted it so I can save more pictures into my card. And yes I think its JPG.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (922)   ranked 3,121 out of 3,139 in photography  12 months ago

Yeah, if you are just adding pictures to share there's a minimum. Now if you are trying to add an avatar, that has to be no bigger than 50 x 50. Go figure.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1591)   ranked 390 out of 3,139 in photography  12 months ago

okay, sure.:-)

All the time. angry And not only does it take a long time to boot it takes a few minutes to actually capture the shot after I press the button. This can be a great handicap when I am taking surveillance pictures.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1591)   ranked 390 out of 3,139 in photography  1 year ago

your sentiment sounds SPITTINGLY familiar! I think we should start a club...hmmm....I'm thinking maybe.......Go, you suggest.

I have experience this a couple of times. I am using a digital camera so obviously it would take some time to have it ready for the action. In most cases, the potential subject is no longer available. Well, I am not a professional photographer, I am just doing it for fun. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1591)   ranked 390 out of 3,139 in photography  12 months ago

my cam's not SLR too. It's almost like a toy, or a souvenir from an amusement park. Lol! But it can sustain. I do have prof-like takes if I'm lucky enough. It's color is fuschia pink. Lol! Cute, eh?

Oh, that's happened to me too, a subject missed in a matter of seconds. Like when going on road trips and I'd like to take a snap shot of the border sign of saying like "Welcome to so and so" like that, those signs. By the time I see the signage and I turn on my digicam, I miss the shot by a few seconds. I end up with taking a picture of either just the plain highway road or the front mirror of the car. HAHA Bummer, yeah!

Also I take taking pictures of birds flying over. I like looking at them whenever I see them hovering about. But by the time I focus my camera, they've flown away. Urgh!


myLot reputation of 95/100. Theresaaiza (1591)   ranked 390 out of 3,139 in photography  12 months ago

Exactly! I can feel your frustration! Yesterday, I woke up to find the most beautiful sunrise that I have ever seen, complete with silver and white clouds shaped like a thousand sheeps that almost seemed to glisten. ONly to find that my cam's batteries are dead. Really a big bummer!
