The Begger

Two photographers were chatting at the camera club…

First Photographer: Never seen you here, have you been a member for long?

Second Photographer: I’ve only just joined, I used to be into live event video streaming, but decided to give photography a shot. Have you taken any good photos recently?

First Photographer: I saw a terrible sight the other day, a beggar was sitting on the steps of a church, wasted with hunger and his clothes all ragged and torn. He was holding out his hands, pleading for a few coins.

Second Photographer: What did you give him?

First Photographer: f8 at 1/125th of a second.

Photogenic Phantom

Trick Or Treat Smell My Feet

There was this haunted house on the outskirts of the town which was avoided by all the townfolk – the ghost which `lived’ there was feared by all.

However, an enterprising journalist decided to get the scoop of the day by photographing the fearsome phantom. It was a cold and dark night, lightning lit up the sky, so he dressed up warm in one of his thickest NCAA jerseys and a warm parka. When he entered the house, armed with only his camera, the ghost descended upon him, clanking chains et al. He told the ghost “I mean no harm – I just want your photograph”. The ghost was quite happy at this chance to make the headlines – he posed for a number of ghostly shots.

The happy journalist rushed back to his dark room, and began developing the photos. Unfortunately, they turned out to be black and underexposed.

So what’s the moral of the story?

The spirit was willing but the flash was weak.
