I characterize myself as an advanced amateur photographer who enjoys walking/ riding around with my Leica Ms and shooting whatever strikes me, usually buildings, landscapes, etc. I also enjoy doing black and white candids at weddings and other events. Frequently I am asked by friends to do an "assignment" such as a wedding, baby shower, etc. as the main photographer. Invariably I get all stressed out, and hate the results. Yesterday I shot a large women's tea party at our church, which included table photos, photos of the speaker (last year's Miss Ohio -- which was cool) and some behind the scenes stuff. I dusted off my Canon FD equipment as I knew this would be mostly a flash kind of thing and wanted the motordrives. Most of the shots were ok, but I lost part of a roll to a light leak (that A-1 must have developed it since I last used it). To add insult to injury, someone else was there with a prosumer digital camera and had fabulous results (saw her proofs today). Am I the only one who feels this way about "assignments"?
