most embarrassing moment of the week?	Can't Post

I was out in town looking for more flashes and taking street shots to use as backgrounds to composite studio shots against. I was quite chuffed when a young couple asked me to take their photo on their camera. "Obviously expect me to do a good job", I thought to myself. Now comes the fall - how to work this little p+s. Mistake number 1, trying to use the little viewfinder instead of the lcd. #2 trying to hold this midget camera still. # 3 trying to get the !"$% thing to fire the flash! I took a few shots and then thought I better take a few on my nikon and send them to them to prove I can use a camera Blush

That kind of stuff happens to me often at weddings. This past weekend, I am playing with the photographers new 30D, and a person comes up to me with their little tiny point and shoot to take a picture of them.

I was trying to teach someone to edit home movies on some consumer software. We gave up. Really, I can edit videos, really!

I was going around to let people know that interviews would be in the hallway (80th birthday party, so they were older people, but very well-to-do). When I got to the table they asked me when dessert would be served...Not REALLY embarassing, but I had to let them know I wasn't on the serving staff. However, I did know when it was being served and answered their question.
