Sad but true.
I always get the comment along the lines of "Wow, your camera takes great pictures". I normally ignore it, but sometimes Ill comment that I could get pretty similar results with a 40 year old pentax or a cheap point-n-shoot.
having a nex really dissolves the nice camera thing because it looks weird as shit, then i offer to let people use it and they can't focus it correctly and they give it back

Yeah we all know the camera [url=http://www.blog.samuelbradley.com/post/15909994853/give-us-a-list-of-your-gear]doesn't[/url] matter, but this is how people see you when you go around saying stuff like that.

though when people do compliment my camera i tend to agree, because i love my camera. i wouldn't have gotten into photography if i had bought anything else. i would not be able to take the pictures i do with any other DSLR type camera (on my budget)
New to photography, and some of these jokes escape me.
"When will I get the disk"
"Boh-kay"
And in defense of my friends in yearbook, they're great photographers, at least the ones I know.

Many professional photographers are payed by the print. They do a shoot and they select a few of the best photographs and the customer orders prints.
Often times people will just expect you to edit 400 photos and hand them over to them on a CD or thumb drive for them to do whatever they want with.

Bokeh is an overused thing where you make the background look like dots of light by opening the lens as much as possible, giving you a shallow DoF which you focus on a nearby subject, and take a picture where the background is composed of many small light sources, like christmas lights or a city.
It's overused but that doesn't mean it doesn't look good when done right and when the subject fits the bokeh background, though.

Also you can do a cool thing where you put a piece of paper with a shape cut out of it in front of the lens and the "bokeh dots" will take that shape.

Umm, no.
[QUOTE]In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."[/QUOTE]

And I always reply:
"Never".
"Dude, you should get one of those huge lenses that can zoom very far and looks focking cool"
Is this turning into a 'that guy' thread for non photographers? Heh
I get all the jokes, but I just don't find the video that funny.

I said that once and they replied with:
"What are you going to do with them? Hang them in your room? You disgust me.
Wow I used to work with the guy on the left at 0:37. His name is Mitch Kitter, I didn't know he was into photography until I quit working at Best Buy. He does some amazing things with a camera.
