When it comes to photography, what frustrates you the most?

10 years 2 weeks ago #366249 by Rudy Sosa
This question was posted on a Facebook I saw a few weeks ago and the answers were eye opening and entertaining.  Post anything that frustrates you about photography.


I'll start:



When someone walks into my frame just as I'm taking the photo.  Better yet, I have framed up a shot and someone walks into my frame and doesn't walk out of the frame.

"Hey! Get out of my $&#^@*= shot!"

When my AF acts up when I'm taking a shot that is moving and.... gone!

LOL, yes that would work.  But then you are put on the spot, which brings up another point, looking like an a$$ to get people to move.

No trespassing signs, and fences that keep me from getting a great shot. :lol:
And yes I have had the people who walk in to my shot before, but that does not bother me too much. I am used to waiting sometimes to get what I want. The only time it bothers me is when I show another shooter the courtesy pf not getting in their shot, and they do not show it to me. I had some young punk Canon user do this to me the last time. I should have thrown him over the waterfall I was trying to shoot before the light got in a bad place. They would not have found the body till he floated down to the Phoenix area.

Being told by some city officials that I'm not allowed to use a tripod.
Why not?!

 Motion blur.  I mean when I take a really nicely framed shot (at an event), the person is smiling and when I look closely... motion freakin' blur from my hands... gosh darn it.
