Do you think taking photos you miss the moments?

Well the way I look at it is that I am capturing the parts of the event that interested me the most. The rest I would forget anyhow. :lol:

Maybe. But I'd rather be the one capturing the moment anyway. It's kind of why I do the photography thing.

This reminds me I need to edit the photos I took of my daughter's basketball game. They lost 20-2 but she got the only basket for her team.

I don't feel I missed much watching that game through a lens.

I agree with Hassner.  You have the best of both worlds if you are behind the camera. Your attention to detail is much sharper than if you were just being a casual observer.  However, socially you are not going to be able to interact, which is not always a good thing.
