Jerry, maybe you have not noticed, but that statement is NOT alive and well here on the Hog. Jerry, many don't realize that the Hog is not really a forum, it's a very big aquarium, and it's filled with sharks. The sharks need to be fed with regularity. If you ask the right question at the wrong time, or don't word it just so, the sharks whip themselves into a tornado off a feeding frenzy, they eat the OP alive and don't stop untill they have run the poster clean out of the Internet!
I witnesse it most recently when a young lady asked the, "need help with shooting a wedding", question. Yes, many of the sharks on the Hog, including some of the biggest, mobilized into a frenzy and destroyed that poor girl in only a few pages. They are in fact still circling, some patting themselves on the back, others still justifying their frenzy, 20+ pages later!
That scene could have been the Hogs crowning moment. They could have investigated the OPs experience, their equipment, guided to the proper uTubes for examples of what and how to shoot, and pointed to the types of gear to be rented to do a proper wedding shoot. And let the OP decide for themselves if the are up for the task.
Instead "the once in a lifetime event", continuses to be the realm of rocket scientists equipped with cameras.
The truth is, many weddings are shot by 20's something girls using Rebels, and in 10 years they will be high-end pros with top of the line equipment shooting big church weddings. I have them in my classes every day.
Jerry, thanks for the opportunity. After all, "I need help shooting a wedding", is the stupidest question that can be asked here on the Hog. Heaven help the next young girl that asks that question. ;-)
