The moon one cracks me up ... why oh why do they ask that one all the time? It's the freakin moon ... can't you see it just fine with the lens of your eyeball?


yeah haha i just don't get that one at all.

even more amusing is when you have a 17-40 on for wide shots and then they are like "wow with the power in that monster i bet you can even make out the moon" just wrong on so many levels it's not even wrong as they say.

one i wish was true:
"my god that lens is big. wow that looks expensive [300 2.8] what does that cost?! $300 or $400 dollars!!?"

oh if only. if only.

….You have used the line…” No it does not zoom it’s a prime…yes I know but it’s not a zoom”

That is not only true for sports photographers
I often get these "What the..." faces whe people ask me "how far" my 300/2.8 zooms and I tell them that it doesn't zoom at all.

Another one of my favorite scenes:

High School baseball player asks: WOW...How much does that camera cost??

Answer: (from fellow High School baseball player) "More than your Car"

... when you ask the physician doing your colonoscopy if flash is allowed in this venue.

... when T&I excites you more than T&A.

... when the only thing in your umbrella stand is a monopod.

... when you go to a job interview and your vest on your 3-piece suit has a Canon logo on it.

... when the State Trooper asks how fast you were going and you say " ISO 200 at 1/2000 of a
second.

... when you ask the technician doing your CAT scan what their keeper rate is.

... when your neighbor tells you to get a grip and you then go out and buy one.

... again, when you ask the physician doing your colonoscopy if they are in portrait mode.

Happened to me last night shooting my sister's swim meet. They all look at me, my flash isn't even up, but everybody and their mother (literally) is using flash with their P&Ss.

... when your shutter breaks, you clear the obstruction and keep shooting. Also happened to me last night.

When you're at your real job and everyone hears you laughing out loud when reading this forum.

This has to be the best thread, I love it.

Telling your son that you are going to leave him at home because he is not ready. (It's his football game)
Getting to field at 9:00am, but he does not play until 12:30pm

When you tell your wife to "Hustle!!" at an inappropriate moment..........

When you wish your TV would frame vertically..........

When you go to the movies and start itching to tweak the color levels..........

When you have a softball chant stuck in your head for two days..........

When your idea of perfect weather is "Overcast"..........

When your wife walks by in her undies and you kinda hate to stop processing pictures.............

When a parent comes up and asks how many mega pixels does your camera have and you respond 8 and they say " Wow I thought it would be at least a 20 mega pixel, my camera is a 10" as they point to there Sure Shot. I then respond "Well my camera has 8 "PRO" mega pixels” And then there response is "Cool"
