I am not a Pro
23:18
I wasn’t never pretending that. I like to do photography my own way. Today my wife asked me to do some photos on celebration of school anniversary where our kids going. So I took my F100 with 85 lens a flash. I made about ten shots, when battery dies :-( Oh yes.
Yes I didn’t check them before I only took camera and two rolls in my pocket.
There was a photographer on the celebration. She was very busy taking a lot of pictures, two cameras around neck, one with long tele zoom the other with wide zoom. In a small break I asked her if she doesn’t have four AA batteries. She didn’t hesitate. Pull out of a pocket set of four and without a word she handled it to me. She had another two packs of four AA batteries there.
After a show I come to her and return the batteries with words of thanks and apologizing. She was very nice to me. I felt terrible for my mistake, but thanks to her I didn’t felt like total idiot.
And this is what I call Professional. She helped me without discussing. She was ready for everything. It doesn’t matter what photos you do. Difference is that Pro is ready, Amateur is just surprised.
Good story, Richard, put a smile on my face.
Hope you are having fun at Philips!
cheers,

Good story indeed. A pro has spares and is willing to help you. Very nice.
I didn’t know an F100 used “plain” AA batteries. I like that, simple batteries, none of that “special Lithium” type. If the pro hadn’t been there, you could always have gone to any shop and buy some. That’s very convenient.
