I HAVE STRONG AUTISM

Fuck off with this low effort bullshit.

Why would Astro be low tier when landscape photography is god tier?

>>3077878
nah you fuck off

>>3077879
Because that sub genre has become so overly saturated I just gave it it's own category.

>>3077879
because astro is gimmick tier you dumb cuck.

>Elder god tier: MTF charts and test patterns

OP is such a fucking retard that he didn't even realise he made a list about profitability with his choices being NEET faggot tier (landscape) to normie working pro making bank and banging hoes tier (weddings, portraits etc).

I don't understand why these photos have tiers in the first place. This list or any adoption of a "tier" list by photo genre seems more like a list of what you're capable and not capable of.

Learn how to photos.

>>3078170
I have a real job, why would I give a fuck. You're probably to poor to travel the world, and too fat to hike up a mountain. I bet you shoot fat couples at discount rates to expand your dogshit portfolio. Tryhard normie retard

>>3077876
Yeah, I guess it is useless if you are faceblind.

>>3077882

>science is a gimmick

wew lad

Also, by op's metric, it's the most god tier as it's the least likely to contain people.

Unless you guys think Astrophotography means "star trails", in which case it still belongs in god tier as landscape photography.

tight logic my dudes

don't forget to lay a tarp down before you cornell yourselves. it's just courteous.

>>3078481
The rationale is further up in the thread if your ADHD retarded ass could have been bothered to fucking read

>>3078481
>my dudes
kys

>>3078489

The rationale was idiotic and I assert that they (you?) are misidentifying star trails for astrophotography.

>>3078492
It's different enough to warrant it's own subgenre

If you don't agree then I don't know what to tell you

>>3078493

just call it "star trails" and not astrophotography, which is a very precise genre that does not include pleb tier shit like star trails.

then, don't start a thread claiming to have strong autism when you aren't even detail oriented enough to get minor shit like this correct.

then.. wait, i already told you boys to kill yourselves. never mind, we're good.

>I have a real job

Stopped reading there,
I made 140k last year with one Fujifilm XT1 and will easily clear 170k this financial year with the same XT1.

>he thinks because he is a complete faggot and failure that everyone else must be too

it must suck having such a shitty life man I'm sorry. In other news, I cleared another grand since my last post to you. photography is basically free money if you aren't a fucking autistic loser like you.

>b b but I n need to work in a Sh Sh shitty wagecuck job to s survive because I'm b b beta with no charisma or drive

Seeya tomorrow, gotta get up early as I'm completely booked out again with another $1,400 worth of worked locked in. But I'm sure you'll be here like the fucking loser you obviously are that I will have a quality reply to read tomorrow during my daily /p/ visit once I'm home and on the shitter like right now.

switch astro and wildlife and this is completely accurate

portraits can be god tier, but also shit tier

>>3080938

Yeah, those pesky planets and nebulae sure are hard to catch... not like they are completely charted and on an exact timeline.

You can't just do astro from your back yard, either.

nigga what? landscape is meme tier
>hike to beautiful place
>find a spot with nice views
>shoot
that's all it takes

top tier:
if it's a job: shoot whatever pays best
if it's a hobby: shoot whatever you want, if you like your photos it's all that matters
god tier:
combine both

bad tier:
if it's a job: shooting shit you hate because it pays best.
if it's a hobby: taking photos for internet points, not for yourself.

>>3077876
>Macro
>Low Tier
Nigga, what? It's fascinating as all hell. Although if you're doing soulless shots of flowers and insects, I can agree.

Strong autism indeed. Portraiture isn't bad if you actually enjoy interacting with other people and seeing them be happy that you made them look good and gave them something permanent to remember that part of their life/families life.

That's the element of photography that draws me to a lot of different genres. I realized i liked street because of the interactions that can come from it, same with family and personal portraits, sports, events, documentary etc.

I only love landscape because i love being outdoors and i have always been a hiker and a camper as well, and love a good sunrise. Picking up a camera was just a natural followup for that.

If not, confirmed for garbage buttmad astro failure.

I'm hinting that wildlife takes just a bit more effort than astro.

Try to bring up good results for the fields that you are devaluating and you'll see that you've underestimated the field's difficulties before

landscap/wildlife is literally gearfag hobbies - too autistic to deal with people, and too dull to be creative by relying on the same mountain ridge/open field/clouds backdrop

So can I challenge a bit here? Both require possible traveling, being in remote area, bad conditions, non-camera related gear etc.

But both also require pre-planning combined with a bit of luck. You can go to an area that should be dark on a night that should be clear and any number of things could go wrong, just like you can go to an area where XYZ random animal frequents and NOT get the jerks to fly over or whatever. The level of difficulty scales with the level of exoticism. Sure a cheetah is waaaaay cooler than a beaver, just like a glacier is waaaaay cooler than a green rolling hill.

I can concede that wildlife can and most often does include wildly more expensive gear and sometimes you have to paint your skin like a redneck and spray yourself with deer pee, but to say that that are vastly different in terms of outings to keeper ratio might be a stretch.

To be clear, i dont have a dog in the race here, i have done both as a hobbiest, but i find the most fulfillment shooting people, not things. A camera is secondary to me because i like hiking and being in the wild. I shoot people because i love people and the relationships and stories that they have.

The best ones are when there's either anime figures or model trains.

Whats wrong with landscape?

It doesn't talk. It doesn't expect to be talked to. It doesn't need instructions. It doesn't expect to be paid.

Its literally just there, for you to go and make the most of. The only things you have to worry about are the weather and time of day.

Landscape is pure technical. It requires zero people skills. 99% of the time you have to talk to no one but yourself.

>>3080938

It's almost like there's good stuff and shit stuff in all genres.

>>3077876
Macro is god tier, delete this

Damn OP made some of you fags really mad, I think he won

>shooting people
>thinking being able to interact and communicate with fellow human beings is an amazing accomplishment

You portraiture fags are way more autistic than a sperg on a mountain.

>>3081882
Nigga none thinks close up images of an anime figurine is interesting
