Oh yes, I remember now! That's why I never do portraits!
I am often asked regarding my landscape canvases, "Did you take that with a camera?"
-
^or "Where can I buy 4-foot-long sheets of canvas for my LaserJet?"
-
^or "Do you have high resolution versions posted online?"
-
^or “How do you get such great color? How do I get my cell phone to work like that!?!?”
-
Or my personal favourite... 'Man, I wish I had one of those cameras so I could take pictures that good!' ;D
-
"That must be expensive. How much does it cost?"
-
While shooting on the street with a 500 mm : "How far can you see with that lens?"
-
"Wow, you are amazingly talented, I know your expensive camera has nothing to do with it".
In a dream a few weeks back. ;D
Cheers,

Almost anytime I walk around my beautiful home town taking photographs:
"where are you visiting from?"
But one time, as above but using a cheap tripod:
"what magazine do you work for?"
So now you know how to look like a pro for about $50.

And for the other side of the story:

If you watch this video, and the behavior of one of the photographers - it has a bunch of birders in the northwest quite upset

From my perspective, there are more important things to worry about in the environmental/birding field than the behavior of this photographer...anyway it is a short film (2.5 minutes). I think this photographer went too close to the Snowy owl and missed the shot anyway...despite the camo outfit, big lens etc. It is funny in some ways - how not to be a bird photographer!

Or how about "Your camera takes really good pictures....."

"How much zoom? What do you mean by 'none'?!"

I frequently get "You must have a really good camera." My reply to that is: "What a delicious dinner...you must have really good pots."

On the art & craft show circuit where I sell, we (photographers) often share odd things people say to us. Here are a couple of my favorite -
1. Another show artist visited my booth. After looking at my prints, she made the statement - "you must have a really good camera." Later in the show, I visited her booth, looked at her paintings, and said - "you must have REALLY good brushes!"
2. Inquiry from show patron looking at my prints - "did you go to all these places?"
-
- "Did you took the picture? Because the flash didn't fired"
- "Let me see the picture!"
-
How many Megapixels? Oh, that's not much. My P&S have more than yours, and is a lot smaller.
-
"How much zoom? What do you mean by 'none'?!"
I usually shoot with primes, but I've only gotten that question once and I was using the Nikon 14-24mm. I replied truthfully, "Oh, it's nothing fancy -- not even two times."
Related things that people say (when I let them take a shot): "How do I zoom?"
-
Shooting with a Mamiya C220 TLR: "is that camera slow?"

Fred, you're tempting me to get banished!
I'ts a little like that song, Sixty Minute Man, on playing which, Suzy Quatro quipped: more like a three-minute one!
