Condense all your years of knowledge and experience with photography

Everybody, and i mean EH-VER-REE-BAH-DEE, poops.

Photography is pretty lame.

Photography is 90% being in the right place at the right time with a camera that doesn't suck everything else is gearfaggotry and processing, marketing and promotion.

Eyes on the road, faggot.

You are shit until you aren't.

Photography gets boring really fast.

>>3131762
Resize your shit.

Every great artwork seamlessly combines exploring an aspect of the human experience with exploring a formal problem of the medium it uses to present itself.

Documentary photography is just like Pokémon snap, be good at the game and you will get payed for playing video games.

It's a "Sugar cognitive dissonance is obvious" episode.

After shooting digital for years and picking up a film camera I'm actually enjoying the process of making photos

There's no such thing as a terrible camera, just terrible photographers.

that all changed with the 6D II

stop being hipster

photography isn't art

Nobody cares about your pictures unless it's something that has something to do with them

Don't trust grandiose advice packaged into one sentence

"Canon and Nikon are still clinging to obsolete mirrored cameras while all mirrorless has proven to be far superior than any mirrored." ~ Me 2013

Always carry a camera and take lots of pictures.

Disregard composition, acquire bokeh.

>>3131898
This.

Edit: thank you for the gold kind stranger!

>>3131874
I genuinely feel sorry for your level of salt

Fake it til you make it like your mom

Always have a camera with you.

Be aware of how light affects a scene, and can create visual interest.

Film just looks better

Lol did u tak him 2 tha bar|?

Film is High Caliber Cinema, digital is Capeshit.

tripfags literally killed this board.

I spend 85% of my time running a wedding photo business doing paperwork, blogging, SEO, updating websites and placating shitty brides with rich daddies.

That's two sentences you dunce

>placating shitty brides with rich daddies.

I used to work in the hotel industry and I'd rather handle radioactive waste then deal with brides.

delet this

Retired pro here... Have often said jokingly -- although it's often true -- that the difference between an amateur and a professional is that the amateurs have much better equipment.
>If it has a functional lens, a pro will create a marketable image.

Lots of gear will not make you a good photographer, but lots of work might.

White borders makes everything better.

Digital cameras have killed photography as an art.

>>3131814
/p/ mode?

>>3132285
Criticising them is something gear faggots do to make themselves feel better about their shitty photographs.

I actually have quite an expensive camera I just despise cunts like you

>>3131762
If you know what you're doing, you can do anything.

Photography is super easy to be good at but impossibly difficult to be great at

My year of experience says:

Listen to what people have to say about your photos, but not about your gear.

Life has no meaning except for the meaning we ascribe to it
