Photographers who sell courses on how to get clients and build your business but they don’t actually have many clients, just a large social media presence.

Horizons. The amount of crooked horizons in peoples pictures is mine. Sports photography is my thing. And players who look like they’re skating / running up or down hill on a level surface, really grinds my gears. And it is such a simple fix.

Saying that by putting a full frame lens on a crop sensor you get extra zoom.

You’re not getting any extra zoom, you just have a smaller field of view by comparison to a full frame

People thinking the only way to get good photos is using expensive gear.

How much “bokeh” is misunderstood. It can be good or bad, not more or less.

“How much zoom does that have?” when I’m using a (rented) 600 f/4. It doesn’t zoom…

Photographers who look at others work and say “that’s great!” when there are so many things wrong with it, and firstly the person’s facial expression is garbage.

People who used Godox lights before and have switched to Profoto, and assume they can see the power of every light in the trigger. The new trigger can do it but only with the newest lights, and the number of people who think Profoto can fix the old trigger is astonishing, or that “it should work that way because of the price”. Listen idiot, if you’ve been using their gear since before TTL you’d understand.

Those who think the front diffusion of a softbox is all-powerful and can reset the inverse square law to restart there. Um, no; get out your light meter, measure it, and do the math.

People that are uncle tom’ing and ask me for my number one piece of advice; yea, take your lens cap off my dude… you’re gonna miss every photo you see when you’ve gotta take the cap off before shooting.

The very-slight green tint that I can’t seem to be able to avoid, despite getting into the color settings - always have to fix it a little bit later. I heard it’s a Sony thing?

If anyone has advice to avoid green (while maintaining a good balance of everything else), I’d much appreciate it (though, it’s not a huge deal to fix either)

Random naked women shot on film. Just because it’s on film doesn’t make it more or less “art” than the same photo on digital. Gives me the icks.

And of course /r/analog will make sure it’s on the front page.

My wedding photographer teaches courses on flash, but didn’t know how to navigate the white marquee/tent we had over our reception at our wedding.

You know. The thing you bounce into/off of.

In movies or shows it annoys me so much to see people holding the camera wrong! Silly but it looks so goofy and amateur.

Starry landscapes where someone has their headlamp pointed at the Milky Way.

Photographers acting like the camera brand you have means something.

I was so confused hearing about all the dumb jokes about Nikon from Sony and Canon users. And those latter brands somehow being the only ones that exist.

I used Nikon and recently shifted to Sony but they’re all excellent - Canon, Fujifilm, Lumix, etc. It’s all just preference based what you’re trying to do and your own style.

I don’t know where this behavior came from.

People obsessed with contrast and sharpness to the detriment of the image itself.
