And when I say supportive, I mean supportive of your photographic endeavours?<\/p>\n<p>I ask after reading on a photo forum a while back about a bloke who was continually frustrated by his partner complaining about him always being out taking photos. This went on for a year or two until someone suggested he buy her a camera. So her bought her a low end digital SLR, which he says now, saved his marriage. Now the only arguements they have is over who is using what lens!<\/p>\n<p>Now I am one lucky fellow. The bride is very supportive of me and my photography. But having a photography tragic in the family has one small negative. We have very few photos of us together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"A_Onz_Todd by norbography, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/norbography\/2667353998\/\" target=\"blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3070\/2667353998_c563dbffea.jpg\" alt=\"A_Onz_Todd\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>A rare photo of the bride (Andree) and I together.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I am not all that keen on having my photo taken (probably because the camera lens adds 10 kilograms to the extra 20 I am already carrying) and when I do, I like to take it. Which creates a bit of a problem. I have to hand over the camera to someone else to get a shot of the two of us. Now that shot isn&#8217;t going to be a shot that I took, it isn&#8217;t really my photo. Also, it will usually be on auto focus and a I try and set the camera up to be as easy to use as possible which will probably result in a photo slightly different to what I would like. In the end, it isn&#8217;t my photo. Maybe it is time to get the tripod out and get some shots of us together. Or grab one of my photography buddies and drag them along.<\/p>\n<p>Suggestions or comments welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have a supportive partner or spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend?
