Complaints of a Photographer

Get the light just right The sun is blinding First shot too bright Let's try rewinding In the shade What a bore "Is this the sherade I'm paying for?" Lighting is dim Dial down the shutter On a whim Don't dare flutter If you can be still As can I We can finish this deal Before I cry 8 people cheesing Sharp faces across the board In the business of pleasing Master this and I score I lose light for this shot I know you can't imagine A job for a tot With my little red wagon The aperture skinny To achieve this focus Pay me a pretty penny And I'll say hocus pocus Quick! snap a solo I want a blurred backdrop Must change up the show Widen my f stop "What's taking so long, Is this not your profession? Are you doing it wrong We paid for this session!" Doctor... What's your name again Do you have any tact I have settings to tend This is a balancing act Have you seen my work Did you not call to hire Wipe off the smirk Before your session expires
