Opposite also, because it was shot digital, it’s automatically crap.

I have several including people trying to tell me how good they are self-taught and never have printed or know how to properly print. It’s the same ones that think by just clicking the black and white or a monochrome button that they know how to properly make, or edit, a black and white photo. Gear junkies, working for free is another. Extreme editing, over glossed, over saturated color, over editing in general. Using limited run or limited production films when they can’t even use one film right to begin with consistantly. Making thirst trap content with a model that stays in one spot with about 30-50 different poses as a “set”. Thinking that only photographing beautiful people makes you a great photographer. I’m probably missing some but this it for now, I wrote enough.

AP mode is my favorite, it’s my most used one shooting digital for sure.

All BS

This guy has got a good grasp and information on digital rendering of images through a camera. ISOless photography and other information is available on the website:

Just charge for the fact that you will never ever get to use the work you just created.

I recommend a fictitious name.

Loaded question but for digital, very easy. Zeiss Otus 55mm 1.4. The sharpest and cleanest lens I have ever used. G-Master 50mm 1.2 is a reql close 2nd, especially if you need AF.

Fuji 50mp GFX of some sort of model with a focal length closest to a 50-60mm on a 35mm sensor. Adapt it for either a Sony G Master lens or a 85mm 1.4 Zeiss Otus. Also, currently upgrading my 8x10 camera with a 12" (307mm) f/4 lens for daguerrotype photography. Wish me luck.

Up res in PS, 10% each time until you get the desired size

I agree, especially when the info is coming from the same people. The angry photographer use to say Nikon makes the best damn cameras on the planet, now his brand loyalty is to Fuji. Both are excellent systems bit the one thing the more popular photographers on youtube all have that commercialization thing in common. There are some great videos out there for actual education that is great but you almost have to know which ones are good or bad already. The ones that tell you that you need a filter or a particular lens for XYZ are just trying to sell something for the most part.

To the point about returning pictures the photographer took, is this a paid situation and then a model release is signed or is this where there is a TFP contract where you trade your time for X number of photos?
