Why are Women so useless at PHOTOGRAPHY?
 

Seriously. My wife has just got back from Japan, with a camera full of 382 photos. I'd estimate that 70% of them are unuseable. I was hoping for some great shots of my 1 year old daughter over there.

I've explained the importance of remaining still while shooting, changing settings depending on light etc, but does she fricken listen? She even fucks it up on auto.

And who on earth switches from portait to landscape while recording movies? Do you want to go to the cinema and tilt your head 90 degrees to the left?

Same deal with 3 previous girlfriends, they were all useless.

What is the percentage of professional photographers in the world in all industries not just porn. I'd guess at less than 2%. And for good reason. :Oh crap

Anne Geddes might disagree with you.

Anyway, you should not assume and then make blanket statements.
There are plenty of very talented female photographers in the world.

Fuck that :) Most who do peruse the proper stuff kick ass. Just look at Jelena for example. The point is many people aint pros regardless of gender

Hum.. There are 2 Mrs Randalls that are pretty good with cameras :winkwink:

It depends on woman :winkwink:

There're many great female photographers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_photography

Just pisses me off she went over to such a beautiful country and came back with probably 20 photos I'd bother printing off.

If good women photographers weren't rare, wiki wouldn't need a separate page about them... :2 cents:

lol @ Woj, precisely what I was thinking.

You've had 3 girlfriends be useless photographers? Why don't you take them out with the camera and teach them the basics? make it fun! let her feel confident with it, and play with showing you the world as she sees it. DO THIS BEFORE THE TRIP. And then quitcher bitchin'.

I've being showing her how to use them for 5 years and she still doesn't get it. I think there's something incompatible between (most) women and a camera.

Come to think of it, anything electronic / electrical for that matter, why stop at cameras? lol. :1orglaugh

Elli - I like bitchin, it's funny.

Ok, this was funny .. :)

Wow...I can't believe you are stereotyping half the human race based on your experience with four individuals. I've worked with NUMEROUS women that are AMAZING photographers...and I also shoot as well. I work as a photographer for Pinupglam.com and Pinupfiles.com...have been doing so for a couple years. I'm also more adept with electronics than most men I know. Making stereotypes like this makes you sound ignorant.

They are better in front of the camera

He's not saying all women, he's suggesting that there is a large percentage of women out there who are completely inept with any type of camera,

and he's right.

While I can think of tons of talented women who do great work, their numbers are still extremely low compared to the sheer masses of weekend snap-shotters who have no natural clue or sense at how to take even the most basic album-worthy shot. :2 cents:

However, there are a lot of guys out there as well who couldn't take a decent picture even with an auto-focus digital if their lives depended on it. I think he's saying there are probably more inept women than men for this though. I'm not inclined to say for sure but I suspect he may be correct on that too.

:disgust

Just give the bitch a webcam. Fat and ugly chicks know how to make themselves look fuckable - she'll probably be able to do something with that.

Just go to Google.com and search for " Beautiful pictures in Japan " and stop bitching about photography errors.

Women are the reason why I live.

sweet i didnt know u had a program... :thumbsup

Yup! And I'm about to relaunch my member's area and launch my new affiliate program through Nats. Good things to come! :winkwink:

i take that back.
the program url in yur sig is dead lol

:1orglaugh Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I changed my sig earlier and put in a backslash that didn't need to be there! Works now!

You come across like a lovestruck 14 year old noob. :1orglaugh

sweet...

There are several other photogs named anne who would disagree.

http://pinupfiles.com/ - refresh the page a few times. Terrible shots.

Yeah this.

I'm sure I have more photography credits than most guys on GFY certainly.

Suze Randall shoots some good stuff. Better than 90% of the male photographers out there I would have to say. There are a lot of "guys with cameras" out there that shoot some pretty crappy stuff as well.

CunningStunt, stop your bitching and teach her how to use the frigging thing !!!

What a lazy ass... :1orglaugh

He most likely would not get any if he actually told her what he is posting on GFY. :1orglaugh

Lazy,


:winkwink:

LOL. You guys just don't get it. I've spent probably 20 hours solid showing her, and still she moves while taking shots, has flash on in the day somehow even when it's on manual. I give up.

Here you go:

Maybe I was being a bit harsh, she got the odd one in focus - shame the subject had her back to the camera:

I find that for the most part women are useless at many technical things...... driving, photography, operating tv's etc etc

Funny enough theyre awesome when it comes to operating mobile phones because that a mobile phone is for talking and they can talk for hours.

I've seen a fair few of the "get a sore neck" videos... phones/cameras should have a warning that they are oriented the wrong way before starting recording in video mode, or even have something as basic as an arrow pointing upwards from the lens area.

BTW, what's wrong with using a flash in daylight? :)

There are some amazing photographer women...maybe having bad photographer girlfriends is your karma!!

why? women can't learn some basic stuff without being fun and feeling confident with?

that speaks volumes, lol.
