I hadn't thought about it before but I do believe male photographers blend in better, not just at weddings but at other places, too. Isn't that strange? I wonder why that is?

The date thing is awesome too. Automatic time-stamp. I love it.<br /><br />Ann, I agree. If the picture can't look good, I'd rather not take it.<br /><br />And Lisa, sounds like you've done Tiffany Amber Stocktonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015308280449078107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18474714.post-43513909650441077402011-06-03T13:11:17.675-04:002011-06-03T13:11:17.675-04:00Salena, you're right.

I think of the single photographs of my great-grandparents and their parents, and how that was likely the only portrait they had taken.

Although I have been to events where women photographers were there yet blended into the background. That woman at the wedding with flip-flops and showing her backside? She just needed a few lessons in professionalism. :)Tiffany Amber Stocktonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015308280449078107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18474714.post-84212570610091498552011-06-03T12:37:02.499-04:002011-06-03T12:37:02.499-04:00My name is Lisa from Oklahoma.

Because I love photography too.

I love digital because I see the results instantly and I can delete the bad ones right away. The dates on them help since I'm always forgetting to put dates on old photos Martha W.

My husband and I were recently on a research trip to Waco, and I was snapping lots of pictures of blooming cacti. After snapping several hundred photos, I asked him, "Aren't you glad we no longer have to buy file for our cameras?"<br /><br />Yes, some Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18474714.post-76502738244977416852011-06-02T11:22:53.533-04:002011-06-02T11:22:53.533-04:00Margaret.

I can snap pictures so fast it would make your head spin. :) The age of digital has allowed us to do this and then pick and choose what we like and instantly share with friends and family. I can't imagine the anticipation and excitment that people had back in the day when pictures were a huge and expensive ordeal.

Now days I can immediately view a picture and delete it if I can see that it isn't any good. If I used a manual film camera I would be forced to make sure everything was set up correctly the first time.
