    Somewhat funny. To be honest I've seen more people make fun of noob photographers than I have seen actual noob photographers.

    The obsessive foodie photographers seem to be sprouting up every time I go out for even a marginally decent meal lately. Even saw some folks taking I-phone pics of the steaming fajitas at Chile's of all places. shrug..

    Many of us, when we first get a decent camera, think everything is photogenic. I know I used to take pictures of everything and save them! Now I am the master of permanently deleting most of my shots.

    I certainly recognize myself a few years ago in this vid.

    The other night my wife had a work dinner, so I had to fend for myself. I made mac 'n cheese with peas mixed in, and I ate it straight from the pan with the big wooden spoon. I should have taken a pic and put it on fb.

    An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.

    BFD.

    We all have to start somewhere. And we all have different priorities when using a camera.

    Why hate on someone who's doing what they enjoy?

    I'm just annoyed I wasn't told I'd be starring in so many clips - if I'd known, then the Q of money would've been raised ...

    This was funny! It remembered me of an occasion in which I was in a cruise ship taking a "insider's tour" of the ship, in the group was this gentleman with a Nikon, I do not remember what model, but it was a DSLR.
    I noticed him pushing down on the flash when he did not wanted to take a flash photo, so I asked him why he did that, his answer was that the flash came out by itself, I answered that is due to the camera being in Auto and there was insufficient light.

    The gentleman did not know that by simply setting up the cameras to "P" would have solve his problem. Some people buy expensive equipment but fails to read the instruction on how to use it.

    The gentleman in question was very nice and I volunteer to provide some basic instruction on the use of a DSLR for which he was grateful.

    He probably got bad advise when he went to purchase the camera.

    By the way, I do see myself in some of these people, I have been known to lay down on a grassy field to take a photo of a small flower, or discussing the virtues of my equipment, etc.

    I guess we all are guilty of doing some of things in the movie!

    Ha! That was great.

    I've been several of those folks. Key in life is to be able to laugh at yourself.

    Well nigh essential (imo) to get a better pov for many subjects in the natural world. Never ceases to amaze me the No of ppl who won't even consider trying it - at least.
