I own a studio with more gear than Jessops as such people think you are a photographer (including myself) now don't get me wrong I know a lot about what we do and that's works and is very successful. But......
So I have shot a couple of events, and a wedding for a friend (its not even close to what we do, but I have the gear right !) so thought ok, its a free meal and a bit of entertainment, I will take a bit of gear take a few pictures............So we get there with just enough time to set up, not enough time to test, the lighting inside was rubbish, the events organiser were dropping things on me like massive group shots and other bits, we got away with it, but only just.
So I learned a couple of lessons, gear can help but only to a point, and photography you don't do on a regular basis is not a simple as it seems in fact its very, very difficult. never again, unless we get some training!
Anyone else over estimated their ability and realised this whilst actually in the thick of it?
