So Whats the Silliest Thing Someone Has Said to About Photography?

Its not the putting a caber where the sun doesn't shine that hurts - its the removal as far as I am led to believe!

Probably, as I heard the most direct method of removal is to keep shoving until it comes out.

Hell, NO!!! I'm just saying that others share this trait. And, looking at the current state of the species, justly so.

LOL! That's right there with mine. I hate it when people look at my pictures and say, "Wow, you must have a really good camera!"

Gee, I thought maybe it was *me*.

Grrrr.......

That's why my girlfriend is awesome. When she first saw my photos she said, "Those are great. You're a really good photographer".

Marry Her...

Hehe, my fiancée supports my photography 100%. It's great. She completely plans to grab the second D3 once I have it and challenge me to a shootout.

You would think that would be a good idea, but in reality it would backfire.

You'd want to buy a new camera or a new lens, and she'd say, "But honey, it's the photographer not the camera that makes the images!".

Busted!

Heh! Now that's a good comeback!!!

Somebody should put that in a sig!

I have quite a few "photographer" friends on facebook.

Today one of these friends made some kind of status update that I was reading when I noticed that one of her friends was asking for some photo help. She said that she kept taking photos and they came out blurry, but that when her husband used the same camera the photos came out fine and looked great.

The "photographer" replied that it "must be the camera".

I love that response. I guess the reason why I can never seem to fix my car is because there is an issue with my wrench.

I've been asked a few times by groups of teenages what am I "filming"....

Twice with a 5D second time with a Mamiya RB67.

Good idea! And I agree with you about the state of the species! OH NO - I'm becoming a curmudgeon as well! AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH

Of course its the wrench - anything less than Snap on simply wont work!
It has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge!

Yeah. I hate that too.
The only comments I ever get on my photos on facebook are "You sure do have a nice camera."
I shoot 100% Manual whenever I can.

''I will buy a big camera like you because I will make better pictures.... My P&S does not take picture beautiful like yours''

Got from a friend of mine on facebook.

Friend: "Wat to buy....EOS 50D or EOS 5D....???"
Stranger: "Check out the 550D bro, I have one."
Friend: "i still think the 50D is a lot better...although the 550D is 18MP it falls short of 50D in terms of many features....ex: shutter speed, chromatic abrasions, continuous shooting frames, integrated cleaning system..the noise reduction level...i considered the 5D coz is sensor is full frame..n the mkII is 23.6MP"
Me: "Is it chromatic aberration you're talking about?"
Friend: "Yup, wrong spelling hah.. the lower end models are more prone to it. Thats wat the experiments show lol"
Me: " huh? is it?? 550D and 7D shares the same sensor.. so with that come in mind, you're saying that 7D has more CA?? AFAIK high MP can make CA worse but the main reason is still on the lens.. coz they dun have fluorite elements in it (fluorite is expensive in good lenses)......"

..........

Isn't chromatic aberration has something to do with the lens? As far as I know, sensor has nothing to do with CA, but MP is an exception as it will magnifies the horrible CA and thats it.

Err, no comment.

mine is I was working a hockey game and had a 70-200 mounted and this really cute slightly drunk girl came up and said thats a huge lens, without missing a beat I replied you should see whats in my pants.. she laughed but her boyfriend didnt like my comment as much LOL

A former friend of mine called it chromatic abbarition. Some weird combo of aberration, and apparition. He also pronounced bokeh "bokay"(and he said said it, among many other photography buzzwords, quite often), and called the exposure lock button the spot meter button because he read an article about how to use spot metering, without really reading it.
