I had the experience when my friends and I were all dressed up for a formal seminar opening ceremony.
We took pictures of one another in front of a vintage car parked outside the hotel and asked a passerby to help take a shot for all of us with the car behind us.
Guess what?It turned out with us placed out of proportion in the picture with just the rear of the car to be seen.
Obviously we were disappointed but we know that's how it is when you get someone who doesn't quite understand photography.
I have personally known a few people who are often asked to help take pictures at occasions because they know photography better than others.
And all this take learning and time and experimentation to keep improving your skills.
To top it all off, it is a good feeling to be able to take good pictures of your own and it will be a skill that will be good to use and stays with you for life.
So, do invest in gaining knowledge to improve your skills.
