Sadly I haven't found the best photographer (I apologise for the 'oh poo poo, I need to take a pic of that before getting out of here iPhone shot taken with zero thought to how crap the picture would come out' nature), but I found the best wall mounter.

Is this said thread? I delved into the archives to see if I could find anything that looked similar to this one. It's pretty long and I'm going to bet there's a ton of dead image links, but it might yield some fun... http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3303711

It's amazing how many people who considered themselves professional photographers and had a registered domain now don't have active sites. And I'm looking at posts from only a few years ago. The Flickr ones are good because you can see if the truly awful ones at least improved at all.

Yeah it's hard to tell what was going to be there (unless I use internet archive, which I can't be arsed to do), but a lot of the cut and pastes from their sites were "I'm a cut above the rest, greatest in the state" kind of nonsense. I think I happened to come across the start of where someone from offsite comes in. This post links through to TalkPhotography and the guy they're laughing at knows his pics/comments are being posted here, so it might be him who comes in and starts acting up. He seems pretty arrogant, so I wouldn't put it past him.

Or a Bitcoin forum. Those idiots will do any menial poo poo for some digital nonsense. It does mean having to deal with Bitcoin, or you could just not pay them, which is pretty much inline with the expected experience.

My future family in law are big basset hound rescue people, so naturally I have a bunch of basset related Facebook groups in my feed. This is usually fine, as I get to coo over hounds all day, but the members have discovered this iPhone/Android app and it's the most heinous thing on the planet. Now my feed is full of poor animals that look like they're melting.

I was watching one of those '10 common mistakes' videos and in retrospect I feel it spent too much time talking about straightened horizons and dust spots, when really it should've talked about not doing composites of your dog on an easel for some reason.

KinkyJohn posted:I thought sony had the best phone camera followed by samsung and then maybe iphonez There was a blind test on a big Android site, and the iPhone won most of the categories. The user base then threw an absolutely massive hissy fit from "the iPhone pictures may be more pleasing but the Android photos depict the harsh, cold reality of life in a more accurate way" to "iPhone people must have worked out which pictures were of their phone and then invaded and skewed the results". It's pretty hilarious.

Wasn't another recent 'mediocre photographer who thinks you should give him $thousands for... reasons' a super praying Christian too? Are these people mistaking The Bible for The Secret or something? Does that guy own any gear at all if he wants to rent both a primary and backup body?

Bloody Hedgehog posted:So obviously this guy isn't going to get the money, but if he did, he was just planning to pocket the money and buy the 5D Mk IV, and then move on, right? Maybe find a disposable single-use camera at a thrift store, and point it out the car window as he drives through Big Bend and takes a few snaps to prove he was there. It's not as if anyone was even gonna get jack poo poo for funding him, so why bother even doing that. Fighting that $1 down payment urge to give him some life feedback.

Someone posted this in a group I follow: https://www.facebook.com/DAllenStudioquote:Hi and Happy New Year everyone. I am making some changes to how I do my photography. Basically I am taking a step back from trying to be a Jack of all Trades and concentrating on what I do well and want to do. Going forward the vast majority of my Photography will be high end Photography that showcases men and women at their best. This is what I do well and what I enjoy doing the most and every time I make an exception or help someone I wind up regretting it or getting taken advantage of especially with my photographing women. I am routinely asked to photograph woman who are grossly obese and yet think it's cool or OK to be seen in skin tight leggings or exercise pants that are so tight they leave absolutely nothing to the imagination even to the point of being able to see lips and yet they are totally oblivious to the people around them throwing up or engaging in violent bouts of projectile vomiting or these confused little girls who get themselves all tatted up and think they are rebelling against their parents or "doing their own thing" when the fact is these clueless ones are only damaging their own futures. Very few people I know will have anything to do with a girl who has so little self respect that she turns her body into a walking billboard and doesn't know the meaning of half of the tattoos on her. Other photographers can handle that, I chose to have absolutely nothing to do with it because I find it disgusting and it turns my stomach. Strong words, but when you're as good as this guy... who needs to take photos of fatties?  It's important to carve out your own style, and the style for pretty much this whole gallery is 'miss focus by about half a mile'. Not featured: 'Not understanding you need to shoot faster shutter when things move'. It's nice that he does stuff for rescues, but I hope to honest God he doesn't charge them (he has a price list, so this *is* an actual business not an amateur)  It's a real shame he watermarked this, as now I'm going to have to go to ShutterStock for 'really half assed photo of some girl behind some monitors I guess?'  This seems to be his forte: awkward looking half dressed girls, badly posed, shot with no real finesse or skill and just loving boring for the most part. What a top dude, hire him for your kids sweet sixteen (if she passes his weight limit and will wear a bikini).

Yeah the worst part of his photography is how boring it is. No time and effort in either setting up the shot and seemingly zero post processing. It was a disappointment after reading the rant, but still an enjoyable juxtaposition based on how good he obviously thinks he is. Wonder if I can find his gear list. I bet he shoots a full frame beast with at least one ridiculously priced lens. At the minimum.

Yeah I found the post chronicling the last 5 years of his insane amount of area and name changes. Glad to see it's not a new prick, but one that's been here all along. All the comments under that post have vanished now which is a shame, as Facebook says there was a stack of new ones.

Yeah while the photos in the advert aren't anything special, they're not going to stop you in your tracks if you flick through them in a magazine. They at least show competence with lighting, whereas that picture of the elephant...

As soon as you see the 'I currently shoot on the Nikon D3200' line you know you're in for a good ride. (Not to knock that camera in any way). E: he took the criticism of his current photos ok, at least. There's hope! EL BROMANCE fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Jul 17, 2017 |

There’s nothing quite like framing body parts at the edge of a frame in a wide angle shot so it looks like they have hulk hands. Surprised Donny hasn’t specifically requested that from the photographer himself.
