The vent/rant thread ...moaners welcome

[weka2000]

Well in the last week Ive read it all

The cant spell thread
The over priced 1Dsk3 thread
The cant walk across a bridge cause of all the photographers thread
The xxxx whatever wont do x thread

So POTN lets all get it off our chest

Get on your soap box and let it all out.

[blackcap]

I hate vent/rant threads!! :lol:

[weka2000]

I hate vent/rant threads!! :lol:


Well I thought if they all posted in 1 thread the rest of potn would be safe.

Have we become such a moaning society. We expect so much and jump up and down and throw toys out of the cot when we dont get our way.

[chauncey]

Can't use spell checker
Shallow egos, "your camera takes good pictures" hurts my feelings
Carping about what others spend on gear, they don't need it

'nuff for now. :lol:

[Dan-o]

Short rant over.

[René Damkot]

If we're going to rant about politics, all rants will be *very* short indeed ;)

[mbellot]

Here's one of my favorite subjects to read.

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=591091

Any pro that is that worried about "competition" like that needs to seriously reconsider their profession.

[ssim]

This thread (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=24778) was one of my first rants, and the only one I have started I think, from February 2004. By and large it still applies.

I don't know a computer that doesn't have a spell checker, no matter what language you are native to.

If I see one more, "How do I watermark my images"......

I'm done.:D:D

[chauncey]

Just thought of another one, using the word "Professional" when it is not applicable

IMHO, to call yourself a professional, one must have all of the following credentials:
A formal training or educational background in a particular field of study.
Have continual, on-going, formalized educational in that field of study.
Be a member of that "field of study group" that is either self or state regulated.

Now I realize that in today's dumbed down world of the academically inert that definition doesn't often apply.
Ego maintenance has become a higher priority than has traditional accuracy.

I'm done now and am ducking for cover. :lol: :lol:

PS-how do I watermark my images?

[ssim]

Wow, if we used the definition of your "Professional" it would eliminate the majority of people, even those of us that make our living doing this. Mind you when someone asks me what I do for a living I say "photographer" and never add the word professional in to it. There have been many a thread where the OP wanted to be able to call himself a pro. Hell, go ahead. Who does it matter to.

Now come on over here so I slap you up the side of the head for that watermarking comment.:D:D:D

[Flo]

"I have had my DLSR for three days now.."
The next post is a photo of theirs with "So and So 'PHOTOGRAPHY watermarked on the pic???? I do not understand..:confused:

[Collin85]

The cant walk across a bridge cause of all the photographers thread

Yeah, I thought I had seen it all. :lol:

As for my rant, it's 5:30am in the morning and I'm about to be off to university for another 14 hour math-fest of cramming proofs into my head.

[bandic00t]

This thread has potential.

My biggest rant/concern is that people are either a) unaware of the search function or b) knowingly decide not to use it for some reason.

I like this thread. Kinda like a big forum kotex pad!:p

Here's my rant. Don't you hate this guy?

"Hi, I'm Timmy22. I joined the forum three days ago. I have 10 posts. And anyone who shoots just Canon is an idiot."

Where do folks get off just showing up in the forum and acting like they've earned the right to rant?

Yes, I am ranting about those who rant, but rant without the right to rant.

Yet.

*note: If there is a Timmy22, then I meant no disrespect. However, if Timmy22 is a troll, well.........

I mean, if you must rant, rant about the fact that it rained over the weekend and ruined your shoot.
Rant about the fact that you've just dropped your camera in the ocean.
Rant about the fact that you just shot a wedding in not so comfortable shoes.

But don't rant about people just because they aren't who you think they should be.

[2] Most of the students have allowances bigger than the teachers' paychecks. And the students don't have to buy their own cars, or pay for insurance, gas, groceries, rent, etc.

Hmmm... An intentional idiot! Like we don't get enough of those unintentionally!

What a time for my wireless keyboard to crap out! Just when I have two articles to write and a bunch of photos to process. I hate this old keyboard I had to dig out of the attic... Arrrgggghhhhhh!!!

Thanks... I feel much better now.
Shhh!! Calm down and use your inside voice!

Still, if you must shout to get it out of your system, better us than your spouse, who would probably make you regret it.

As the guy said, "If I did (whatever), my wife would kill me!"

My reply, "You're lucky! Mine wouldn't kill me. She'd just make me wish she had killed me, day after day, after day, after day...."

[-g-]

OK, turns out I have a rant after all....

Why are we limited to a total of 100 PM's? I mean, the cost of storage isn't that much.... At least bump it up a few hundred.

[20droger]

I think a better question is, why do you need even 100? Do a little housekeeping and delete them after they have served their purpose.

Yes, storage is cheap, for each person! But POTN has how many members? And if every one wanted space for, say, 500 PMs, that would require how much storage?

My rant is against forum members who insist on boring us with their thoughtful reasoned responses and practicality.

Give us a break. In the immortal words of David Byrne, "stop making sense!"

mattograph, I was being polite. But, since that seems to be undesirable (at least to you)...

My rant is about lazy people who have unreasonable expectations and act like Pekka is a servant, not a benefactor.

Now, is that any better? I think not, but it does say the same thing.

Perhaps I should rant about people who rant about someone being logical.... Nah! That would itself be logical.

And weka2000, the questions were rhetorical. I know how many members there are.

You know what? You lost me.

But that may have been your point!;)

Sorry...

She wasn't home... By the time she got home, I had it fixed.

My reply, "You're lucky! Mine wouldn't kill me. She'd just make me wish she had killed me, day after day, after day, after day...."

Sounds like my ex-wife. I was so happy when she moved out of the country...

Don't care! It's my rant and I'm sticking to it.... :) This is the rant thread, isn't it?

How much space do you think a PM takes? 1k maybe? I doubt 168,622 people have 100 PM's each. Even so, a terrabyte drive can be bought for $150.00 so the cost of storage really doesn't make that good an arguement.

ahhh... if only it were that easy :( LOL Great rant though :D

[mattograph]

Nobody needs to rant about Digital Railroad? That is most definitely rantable!

Rant = Windows Vista and Office 'update'

Nothing like removing features and not telling anyone.

Would you not take pictures of them---or I'll---insert appropriate threat :rolleyes:

POLITICS!!!

Unfortunately, that's all I can say...

[weka2000]

There's a GREAT title for some POTN member who owns every L prime.

Nasa! I spent half the day on the phone trying to convince them I had all the qualifications needed to spend a month on the ISS. For crying out loud, I can see the moon from my house!:p

Posters who use the phrase "kit lens" assuming wrongly that:
a) there is only one possible kit lens for each body; and
b) everybody knows what that would be if this were so.

Thanks - cathartic!

I can't - I hit the sig length limit before I even finished my full vent! Hmmmm - maybe I should keep the full list of irritations tucked away in this handy thread.
