A fun and maybe enlightening topic......Assuming that most everyone here has some type of joy directed towards photography, what aspect of the hobby (or profession) do you dislike the most? There's no right or wrong answer....just a matter of opinion. It can be anything from the gear lust (never being satisfied with what you have), the technical side of getting the right exposure, the personal side of working with people or possibly the processing part where you end up sitting in front of the computer for hours on end......or anything and everything in between. The list is endless. So....what is your least favorite thing when it comes to something you love to do? :)

Dealing with photographers who are in business (domestic market) yet have no grasp of basic economics. Who can't get their head around the fact that there is only so much demand... and maybe just maybe their "art" isn't worth the price (in the general public's eyes) that they need to charge for it to have a sustainable full time business. Acting as if there is some god given right for them to succeed in business. (Pet hate).

Such a broad question. I dislike harsh light, I wish the golden hour lasted 12 hours :)

What I dislike the most is pixel peeping. Everyone has this undying need to make the most technically perfect image when the moment that is captured is all that matters.

Hmmm.....yeah. That everyone loves nice, looking photos of themselves or seeing themselves engaging in some fun and hardcore activities. However, they don't want to pay for them. Or only few would pay for them.

And if you are any good in any particular genre, everybody wants to be like you...but they can't because they aren't you.

Prices & Popularity.
Prices because I'm poor and too young to make any real money!:lol:
And Popularity because people who take terrible photos but are popular instantly start thinking they're the best...

Post-processing... I never can find the fine line between not enough and too much...

I dislike color management and the printing process in general.
