My husband is a terrible photographer

Today we went to see a swing that stands in the top of a mountain where it is possible to see the valley and one of our largest river (Mondego). My parents went with us. The view was indeed amazing and I took some photos of my children in the swing, pictures of my parents, of the view and when I asked my husband to take a picture of me in the swing, he took three photos and in none of them it is possible to see the name of the swing, but we can see a lot of ground in front of me as you can see in the collage I did. He is terrible taking pictures! I have some where he cut my feet and caught a lot of sky and some where I have part of my head cut too. I think I will offer him a photograph intensive course on his birthday.

My father always "cut" our feet. My husband is very good but SLOW! I hate to wait so long while he takes pictures of me.

@nela13 Some people do not really like to take pictures, they do not take the time to see if what they say will be good. Anyway, you are very pretty in that photo.

He isn't slow, I think he just want to take the picture as fast as he can, that is why next time I will ask my son, he is a much better photographer than his father.

@nela13 It must be! My husband is only interested in getting photos of me - not nature= and all with hideous expressions. I think I have the same dress. Is it pleated at the bottom???

@DianneN yes, they always took the pictures when we aren't ready yet. Yes, the dress is pleated at the bottom, I love this dress and as I got a tan I think it looks even better.

I am married with him for 15 years and he has always been terrible taking photos. Yes, it was fun and we spent time with our family and that is what matters.

I think that the subject of your hubby's photo is you and not the sign on the top of the swing. Its a magnificent view.

Most of the time it is me who takes the pictures. If I ask my son he can take better photos than his father. Next time I will ask my son.

At least we can see all of you here. A photo course might be a good idea. lol Better make it a beginners' course.

Photography is not interesting for everyone, some people just do not understand it. Good pictures though, I can see the name above the swing on the picture to the right.

Actually, he did take a good shot but he was focusing on you and not the sign @nela13

Yes, that is true, besides he didn't catch the swing name, he caught the view and me.

I still think the picture of you is a great one, although I agree that he should have included the name of the swing in the photo. But the sign at the top of the swing is not the focal point, you were the focal point!

Maybe he is not the best photographer, but he made it very realistic and view is gorgeous, embellished by an attractive young lady in white.

Blurred is another problem and sometimes he takes too long to take a picture.

It was a good view indeed. He is always in a rush to take pictures I guess that is the reason why they always don't come out as it should.
