One of my many limitations as a photographer is that if I am out in public with my camera I think that everyone is a potential mugger ready to wrestle me to the ground and rip my, frankly, average camera from around my neck.
I spend a lot of time in London but due to this irrational concern I spend lots of time in my car, driving around thinking "that would make a nice shot" but not venturing out with my camera to get the shot.
Yesterday I saw a diminutive guy (compared to me at 6'2" and 95 KG) out in London boldly sporting an expensive Nikon for all to see (may have been a D90 or D300 or something). I got to thinking "there is a guy half my size with a camera twice as good as mine. If he can do it then so can I." Needless to say I saw lots of great potential shots through the car window on the way home. Not one made it to my SD card!
Please cure me with your stories and advice!

Put on your Nike's and grab the camera (it has not to be a N D300) and walk, walk, walk...then you will have ALL the shots you have seen trough your car window on your SD card, believe me.:)
ReplyDeleteAnd it is still the photographer "who sees the picture and pushes the button" and it's not the camera that makes a good picture, right? :)
