Meet someone who is "into photography" > they don't

>>3018855
At least they take pics. What do you do apart from sit at your computer and moan like a bitch

>>3018855
I shall issue a photographer's pardon if the majority of pictures shot are pornographic.

That said, the overwhelming majority of people who don't care about their gear take shit pictures only. Were you waiting for them to do things right?

>>3018860
> ignorance is kool guys lololol

>>3018863
They problem is people don't know what is shit and what is not shit.

If they are learning, then it's excusable

I notice that you haven't mentioned anything at all about light, composition, subject matter or purpose. Just gear. You're no better, plebeian.

>>3018855
>thinks he's a photographer
>speaks only about gear

>>3018855
> they take better pictures without knowing any of that shit
> unironically being a gearfaggot and spewing numbers when talking about photography IRL

the sad TRUTH

>>3018867
>>3018871
>>3018906

Holy shit, it's not being a gear fag to know how a fucking camera works

Projecting much???

>>3018867
Also, how the fuck would lighting come up in a casual conversation about photography?

>>3018925
>>3018920
Fucking kill yourself. That's like saying how would driving come up in a casual conversation about cars?!?!

>>3018927
HOW WOULD IT???

"Oh i like to drive fast"
" I double clutch"

This makes no sense!!

If you mean something like "such and such camera handles low light better"

GUESS WHAT?? THATS GEAR TALK!!!!

>>3018920
well you made three examples of your self-proclaimed photographic superiority and all 3 of them have to do with gear.

>On a road trip with friends
>Ask to pull over because of cool lighting
>Pull out my DSLR
>Frame it nicely on my knees
>Can't wait to put this on my laptop and take a look
>People are gonna love this shot
>Friend goes and takes same pic with iPhone and post it immediately on Facebook

Fucking really?

>>3018957
Lol.

That shits annoying for sure, but what can you do?

>>3018957
I guess the next time you'll just quickly shoot the picture to your smartphone and share it yourself?

>>3018957
you are so sad and desperate :(

>>3018855

>never talk about photos
>keeps talking about his new camera
>jerks off on online forums
>never take any cool pics. jelly as fuck of my instagram

>>3018980
Keep dreaming

>>3018925
Lighting is the #1 most important thing about photography. Without light, there is no photo. Photo literally means light. When does light NOT come up?

>>3018929
Again with the gear you asshat. Go watch a b&h event space on qualities of light... Or four. You're obviously a beginner, so stop pretending.

>>3018986
>Lighting is the #1 most important thing about photography.

I have a friend that likes photography but is visually crippled, he just cant understand what makes good light good, so i have to tell him when the day is optimal and when it doesnt. He cant read light.

99% of /p/ cant read light, though.

>>3018986

"Do you like photography?"


PLEASE TELL ME HOW THE FUCK LIGHTING WOULD COME UP WITH THAT QUESTION?

give me a realistic answer you fucking autist.

I know lighting is most important, but unless you are both looking at a photo, how the fuck does it come up???

ITT:


> Ansel, I love your work. How do you get such results??

> Well I set up a tripod and shoot F64 for 1/10 seconds

> FUCKING GEAR FAGS

>when ur troll thread isnt working but ur too emotionally invested in it

>>3018925
When friends ask me for advice, it always turns to lighting. I also always comment about light in their images. How does light NOT casually come up in photography conversations?

For real you gear heads need to know lighting in numero uno! Go look up on YouTube the cheap camera pro photographer videos and see some of the awesome shit they do with the shittiest of gear. They always say it's all about lighting and creativity

>>3018999
"Do you like photography?"
"Yeah, absolutely! That's my profession, actually. Photography is such a fascinating medium. It's crazy how we have such creative control and interpretation through the use of light and optics!"

I talk more about light than anything. Then again I didn't pick up my first camera in 2014.

>>3018999
>PLEASE TELL ME HOW THE FUCK LIGHT WOULD COME UP IN A CONVERSATION ABOUT A MEDIUM THAT DEALS WITH THE RECORDING OF LIGHT?

>>3019008
This is not realistic and you know it.

I would say in response: Oh I like playing with lighting too....
end of convo.

Unless you are a studio fag.

>>3018999
>Do you like photography
Yeah man I had a portrait shoot with his hot model last week. I was shooting up into some stadium floodlights, and the air was just misty enough... Here just look, I have them on my phone.

>>3018993
Tell him to focus on patterns and colors then. Go abstract. Maybe do a crash course with nothing but flashlights, white board and simple objects.

>>3019009
>>3019026

>Be OP
> Don't take portraits at a studio
> Use natural lighting/ shoot landscapes 90% of the time

I pay attention to the light but I have no control. So there is only so much, that is to say little, on that subject.

>>3019053
>shoot landscapes 90% of the time

Autism detected. OP can't talk with strangers, obviously he's trolling.

3/10 though, he made me answer.

>>3019053
This only shows your lack of knowledge and experience. Get good before making angry gearfag threads on a photography board.

>>3019082
>>3019083

I have shot with studio equipment jesus christ.

Its not that difficult

>>3018961

Post it on /p/ basically

>>3018964

Nah I'll wait till the next rabal has built in Facebook posting with a 4G modem built in.

>>3018966

Projecting much?

>>3018961
You can murder your friend.

>>3019123
Nobody ITT but you is talking about studio equipment. Your gearmind is unending.

>>3019253
shitty troll

>>3019262
child

>>3018925
Stop taking photographs, IF you do.

>>3019284
what?

>>3018860
I bet I can make your mom moan like a bitch.

>>3019289
Stop taking photographs, IF you do.

>>3018986
>lighting is the number one thing

Really? Cause some other troll thread says it's ehtics and meaning.

>>3019330
There's a lot of ethics and meaning in an empty, black rectangle.

>>3019019
oh dam i forgot this is a hobbyist's board.
