A post dedicated to all the Shutterbugs .
:)
From personal experience plus observation.
You know you are a photographer when,
You see everything as a photograph even before it's taken.
You have stopped in the middle of a conversation to go get your cam cos something suddenly popped into your mind,
it was a photographic moment.
You get jealous when someone has more megapixel/zoom than you.
You are very particular about every picture, it has to be Perfect.
You've got thousands of photographs but rarely appear in any of them.
1 GB of memory lasts most people a month, but barely an afternoon for you.
You hear, "Wow, your Cam takes really nice photos" -
And you smile, but grit your teeth.
People ask you whether you've really taken the snap, very irritating. :P :)
A trip would take twice the normal time, because you constantly stop to take photos or go back.
You delete more photos in a week than most people make all year.
You’ve crawled on the ground to get a shot of something rusty or tiny.
*Your camera equipment is worth more than your car.
*You need just one more lens.
( *This is from all those awesome pro-photographers :) )
You love shooting, hate editing . (At times)
Your family doesn’t recognize you without a camera covering your face. :P
You cant deny it. Having 3-inch LCD is an amazing thing if your camera has it.
You've gotten into a debate about who has better cameras, Canon or Nikon.
And finally,
You’ve been up before dawn or out in the freezing cold or even done something semi-dangerous…
All for a photograph. :)
I really believe there are things no one would see, if I didn't photograph them ~ Diane Arbus .
