The downside to being known to family and friends as a "photographer"

WHY ?    I have spent most of my life in the electrical trade and have for the last few years spinned myself into the photographic industry whether it be working as a football photographer, Weddings, Portraits or selling my own Landscapes in Galleries and Markets. My extended family still see me as a Electrician ( nothing wrong with that is a great trade to be in )  but they think photography is my hobby and I will allways do something on the cheap. Then again when they need a electrical job doing the same applies. Anyway the quote is " Knowledge is power "  which is why they have come to you, so you dictate, not them and price accordingly.............

WHY ?  

Well if they are family and friends it's sometimes hard to tell them stuff they bring you is rubbish. I'm not good at sugar coating.

Cooked breakfast, boiled egg slightly underdone...ah ha  ! the microwave!


BOOM!!!

It wasn't such a matter as egg all over my face, but nicely distributed throughout the microwave.

Chestnuts do a pretty good job too.    If you forget to stab them first.

Funnily enough one of my kids did this a while back and didnt clean up. My wife went mad on him

Try scrambled eggs in the microwave - fantastic.

Beat you all - my Dad had a microwave over 35 years ago and I did that trick then!

I put a musical mug in the microwave... lots of sparks and I suddenly remember that the music bit is made of metal. It was never musical again and the bottom of it had turned spherical!

Coming down the M1 from Sheffield this afternoon/evening - and the dash lights flickered - and then I noticed the head lamps were doing the same!

Pull off to the hard shoulder and worked out that the side lights would work, but as soon as I switched to main, they went out. Luckily I'd got a meter in the car and some bits of wire, tools etc and took apart the steering column to take the switch out. Switch is knackered, so bodged it together to get the lights back on. Now I need a screw driver to turn the lights on/off!

Oh well, its a Landrover!

They allways get you home   quarter lights on mine have sprung a leak

Why my dad keeps asking 'why do you want a 8 GB card for?'  , anything actually wrong in that...?

[Malcolm1938]

why do you want a 8 GB card for?

I open the little door on my camera less often - making the camera last longer.

I can shoot more Raw+jpg files without needing to change the card.

It puts me one up on those who only have a 4gb card

The Girls think an 8gb card is sexy

Need I go on... there must be a thousand good reasons for having one

Oh and it's what I wanted....
