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
