So, one thing I noticed long ago about having a fancy camera.... you can't ask just anyone to take your photo. For that matter, even with a point and shoot most people can't take a decent shot - they zoom out and get just below your knees, or miss the sign / landmark / scene that you wanted in the background.
But with a dslr, it's worse - because they're scared of the camera. And, the average person over 40 doesn't know how to focus a digital camera.
Point is, I'm going to Nepal next week with a group and we had to go up on stage. So I hesitantly asked the guy behind me to take a few shots. I could tell from the confidence with which he took the camera that he knew what he was doing. He got some close ups of everyone, several good group shots....
Guys under the age of 35 - that's who you got to ask when you want to be the subject.
