Because they are so self critical of themselves, they like photographs but never believe theay are perfect unless they plan and frett for hours & hours before the picture in taken prinning themselves. I always find out this is when one actually gets horrible pictures of such women, if they where relaxed and not worrying so much on how they looked, the images come out awesome.
Have a friend's wife, everytime I have had tried to take a picture of her she ALWAYS has to make herself look perfect and has the most ugly look on her face, she never lets me take any candid shots of her when she is not posing, now the best picture of her i have ever taken is one when she did not know I was taking the shot, ofcourse she loves it but hates the fact she was not posing (duh), so I just gave up taking pics of her
Ok Subs, first off, self critical of themselves is a tautology..duuh.. Second, could the short answer to Icepix's question not simply be that some women don't believe they're photogenic? Thirdly, your friend or his wife had better not catch you with that comment.
Icepic, I like the blurred feel of this pic, but I get the impression it turned out this way cos of all the movement going on. I know cos I've done this and had this same effect. Next time, I reckon you should use the setting on your camera designed for capturing moving images in high speed and eliminating blur.
