Thank you, Dorkroom, for being different than the local Facebook "professional photography" groups I've joined.

Today's most popular thread: post a photo straight out of camera without any editing because clearly that's the hallmark of a good photographer -- having in-camera jpgs that look "right"

I mostly use in camera jpgs, but I shoot Fuji explicitly for that purpose.

I was shortly in a photo group years ago that was all about no edit photo posting. I got my x100 and had some arguments about it not being purely an ooc image because the camera was editing it. Got into the whole "post your 0's and 1's because any jpg is a modification of the original image, and these are sooc images from an x100". It was fun, and then I left shortly afterwards.

To the public, art is pretty pictures. More so when lots of filters are applied. When there is implied deeper meaning or abstraction then it is pretentious.

Not really. A lot of people who aren't artists of some kind don't think too much about what art is. They know what they like, which isn't the same thing but they generally don't care to examine their cultural intake any deeper than that. Which is fine, it's not a value judgement. People can choose what they are interested in and art is just one of many subjects vying for each individuals limited time and attention. Not being interested in art or not having thought about it a lot doesn't make you a bad person, it probably just means that there are other things that interest you more instead.

my point was that drawing a value distinction on consumers between those that enjoy low art and and those that enjoy high art is inherently pretentious which it seems like we both agree on so i don't really know why you started your post with "not really"

sorry about that here are a few funny joke post ideas for some1 to use:

1. Citing great exposure, my friend asked to shoot their wedding for free! What an idiot!!

2. I take way better pictures than all of my friends. One friend implied that my good pictures must be the result of me using my nice camera but I'm the one who pushes the button. It's me who makes the good pictures! What an idiot!!

3. My idiot friend tried to give me some tips on how to take a good picture but they take bad pictures. I am the good photographer here bozo, you are just an idiot. What an idiot!!

4. My completely inept and worthless friend gets 700 likes from other birdbrained morons on all their tonemapped sunsets meanwhile I only get 4 likes from genius braniacs because I only do filmic processing to my highly nuanced photos of rotting cars sitting in front of abandoned movies theatres! What an idiot!!

5. how do i shot camera lmao
