Shooting People

"Shooting" is a common photographic term, but I'm wondering if using that word has caused problems for any of you.
"I'm going out later to see if I can shoot some dolphins." "I'd like to shoot some of those kids in the playground, but their parents might object."

When you say it.....make sure you have a camera in your hands. :wink:
You mean the camera that fires bullets?
One job I would not want is being security for a famous person - too many ways to get to people today.

It is all in the context! When I'm speaking with photographers they understand exactly to what I am referring. At the gun range it is an entirely different interpretation.
Although, in the words of somebody famous--I forget who--"some people just need shooting." I don't think he meant with a camera.

Sometimes shooting people with Nikon or Canon can have as much impact as shooting with Colt or Winchester. Just read the tabloids. And this subject has the potential for danger. :lol:

I guess that's what you call subconscious.

Kimber .45--is that film, digital, or lead? Might depend on the optics used. lol
The other night I "flashed the moon." Remember this a photography form and that should be the context. lol
Just sharing a little humor. Although, I did ask myself what happen if I flashed the moon, then I thought in polite company I should state that differently.

Back in the day I made my living in photography for many years. Then I quit that and sold guns for about 15yrs. Now I'm retired and enjoy playing pool several nights a week.
They're ALL shooting sports!

I was asked why I was going to Maine and said "To shoot some moose." The person then ask me how many and I replied "Every one I can find." When the look of horror came over her face I realised what she thought I meant. I then quickly added "With a camera!"

When I got out of the service I was a body guard for 4 years. A very nerve racking job. I made it for 4 years and had to get a different job. I don't have much patience with stupid. And did you know there is only one way to fix it. ; Shooting with my Nikon is way more relaxing! :)
