Tumblr has never been a bastion of good character, but it's only a matter of time before the HDR circlejerks start spilling over from flickr.

There's so many bad photos for thousands of dollars on etsy, just order all photographs by price.
For example [url]http://www.etsy.com/listing/72954481/mallard-20x26-photography-print-one-of-a?ref=cat2_gallery_5[/url]
They're obviously all a joke, thankfully.
There is no way a functioning adult could ever think that is realistic or reasonable in any form.
It's either a troll, or someone just casting hooks.

"Print will be shipped via one-day Fedex shipping (FOR FREE!)"
bargain !!!
thing is with that alaska photographer guy, reading the interview i can see what he means by the 'no processing' idea as it is a valid point but jesus christ how his shots could be improved even with just a brightness -10 contrast +10!
talked to the kid using the 5D in my class who didn't know how to set it to raw
turns out he shoots manual lenses on it
turns out that he's using Minolta MC lenses on it, aka THE ADAPTER HAS GLASS YOU FUCKTARD (i saw a picture and the middle is in different focus with the rest of the picture)
turns out that he bought it because he thought crop factors were stupid
[QUOTE=Him1411;34501749]the 'no processing' idea as it is a valid point![/QUOTE]
Alright, gunna get a little serious here. I disagree with that idea completely. Surprisingly, Ken Rockwell said it best.
[quote]The more you learn about photography the more you'll also learn that artificial filters and manipulation are required to make a natural looking image. Ansel Adams realized that human perception and the photographic processes are quite different. Therefore one needs to use a lot of filtration, manipulation and burning and dodging to compensate for the human eye and brain's image processing to create an image on paper that looks natural. (You can read this in his books.) This is why most snapshots don't look like the original scene. Artificial processes and image manipulation are needed to make a photograph look natural.
Armchair photographers like to play a stupid game that prohibits anything creative and requires they just play forensic photographers blindly Xeroxing nature without filters. I only judge people on the final image, not the process. Sadly these folks get images that are both dull and unnatural.
I'm not trying to reproduce nature. I encourage people to be creative. I personally use any sort of artificial anything I can to create the look I want. I'm expressing my imagination, not trying to duplicate reality.[/quote]
Yes, get the best image you can SOOC, but that doesn't mean stop there.
My flatmate has that idea, it annoys me to no end.
He has literally looked puzzled before when someone said they didn't like a picture of his, and said "but it's super sharp, I used a 300mm f/2.8".
He seems obsessed with getting the sharpest and most vivid (using only in camera image settings) shot he can, while simultaneously being as far away from the subject as he can and making the subject (usually random birds) totally fill the frame (no thought to composition).
[editline]2nd February 2012[/editline]
Nevermind that he disregards any sort of crit or advice (and gets angry) because he already thinks he's at the summit of photography. He throws [his parent's] money at photo gear in the hope it makes his photos better.
oh that website, this killed me.
[I]"I have been always been interested in photography my whole life, but just 10 years ago decided I wanted to become more involved and take it one step further and go pro"[/I]
The word "Professional" has lost its meaning these days imo. Professional means it's their profession, their job. If he quit work to become a photographer and has sold at least one photo, he's a professional.
'professional' by definition means you make more than half your income through it, no?
A professional is a person who is paid to undertake a specialised set of tasks and to complete them for a fee.

that's also a freelancer
[editline]e[/editline]
haha, I read that as 'complete them for free'
I've seen a few things from clientsfromhell about people who genuinely thought freelancer meant you do the work for free, like some kind of saintly art mercenary

that quote actually just changed my thoughts on this entirely, thankyou! i see what he means that we see things different to how a camera actually sees it and therefor to properly produce what the eye sees or what you truly want to create then pp is definitely a must, a thing that a few of my photography classmates need to learn.

iphone's sensor isn't bad. Chase Jarvis started a whole movement around it, "the best camera is the one with you"
^Idd, You can take a picture with anything, photographers just seem to have a bad outlook of phone photography because of all of Hipstagram apps and horrible "editz" most people pump out.

that first one was cool looking at first til I started examining it. I'm really angry about fake tilt shifts, I have a hefty sense of 3D space that just gets messed up when a foreground object is in focus along with something way in the back. Same for like when a skyscraper is in focus only at the bottom despite the entirety of it being at the (fake) focal plane.

yah I may have copied the first image I saw that moderately looked good on google images. ehhehe
