my dad has a $5k sound system in his house that he has no idea how to operate while i have a >$1000 system in my own house that sounds way better than his because i know how to calibrate it.

some people have more money than sense.

it's exactly like >>3138534 said. some people have way more money than sense. Years ago I was the groomsman in a good friend's wedding, but was unemployed at the time. I had recently gotten into photography so I decided I would do some photos of the rehearsal/reception and give them to the couple as a wedding gift.

This was 8 years ago, and all I had was a Canon Xsi, 18-55 kit lens and a borrowed 85mm 1.8...didn't even have a speedlite.

Wedding day approaches, and the bride's stepfather shows up with a Canon 6D, Canon 5D Mark II, gear bag full of 5-6 L lenses, speedlites with stands, the whole she-bang.

Instantly feel out of my league, and he makes constant jokes all day about how "One day you'll be able to afford the real stuff." I ignore him and do my thing, shooting all day. Edit the photos while they were on honeymoon and have them sent to them when they return. They thank me and don't really say much after that about them.

They move to the DMV area because groom is in military. Fast forward to a month ago, my wife and I visit them while we were on vacation in DC and when we get to their house, it's covered in photos that I took. I ask the bride where her stepdad's photos were, and she showed me a small 8x5 of the whole wedding party. She said she has the rest in a box somewhere.

Long story short, anon...most motherfuckers by shit because they think the more expensive camera makes them have better photography, not understanding that lighting, composition, and experience with exposure mean more.

Another example of this idiocy, a few years after teaching myself photography, I got a job at an actual studio. Typical artsy-fartsy hipster photography types ( I was the only redguard in a studio of Nords). Most them loved to tout the whole, "I'm a professional photographer. This is my ART." Basically a bunch of fedora wearing neckbeards.

I'm a canon guy, and the studio only used Nikons so there was a minor adjustment period. After 2-3 days, they finally let me start shooting, I noticed my exposure was a little dark so I opened the F stop a bit and started making some adjustments. The guy training me was like, "Whoa, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's just a little under-exposed so I'm adjusting it at bit."

"We don't change settings. It's against the rules"

"Well that's stupid. How do you make adjustments?"

"We don't"

"Well that's crazy, you can't perfect anything that way"

"What does an F-Stop even do"

"Wait, are you serious? You don't ever change the F-Stop in your own photography?"

"Nope. I just shoot with the settings they taught us here, all the time."

This was a full fledged studio, w/ Full Frame $3000 Nikons (Cant remember model numbers, but it was whatever was just above semi-pro for Nikon about ten years ago), and these fuckers were never taught to shoot anything other than F8, 1/180

And they had the nerve to call themselves professionals. fucking stupid.

Long story short, people are dumb and waste money.

How can neck beards be hipsters and hipsters be nerds and nerds not know how to change settings?

>>3138581
Because today we have fake nerds.

Why didn't you adjust strobe power
