. Why such hostility? If you don't like this forum or this section or both, maybe you should look in a mirror. And you might see a person with all 3 of the objects of that hostility
Hostility to denial of established fact? That is the duty of all of us. It is not "hostility", it is defending the sacred duty of every person to support truth. It is not hostility. It is a duty. If you want the lies of the insane to dictate our future, that is on you.
Well you and Admin, who seems to think the alliance of every other responsible social platform to reject the falsity of the far, insane right is irrational.
Admin should simply be ashamed.

Lately ADMIN has shown a preponderance of fake fact leaning.
I posted a clearly factual post that denied me access to the thread as well as follow-up.
ADMIN has been sucked in to the false and disproven belief in vote fraud and any challenge to that thinking.
It is sad, but the site has become a source of false information by deleting statements of established fact as "political"
Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. They are NOT entitled to their own facts.

Everyone's favorite Utubers, Tony & Chelsea, have a video below of them both online shopping from the ugly-bin at KEH for 1 body and two lenses each for a combined total of $1000 per bundle (with their own KEH online discount code). Of course, both selected all full-frame equipment. They went out in three shooting situations and present numerous results along with commentary of using less than today's cutting edge models.

They seem to have skipped over BIF-Sports and other action photography in their analysis. Big failure from my POV.

The next question is do I take better pictures than you?
No. You do not. Because you are not there.

They love photography and photographers there. Just show interest and respect their experience and knowledge and they will bend over backward to get you what you want and/or need. They are not shy in letting you know if they think you are going down an unproductive path. Usually by telling you about their return policy at just the right time.

"subtle" Ok. If that makes you feel good. Before and after shots in those ads are "subtle"
They are also fodder for lots of eye rolling.
But you have to do what the client wants.
Unfortunately there are millions of people out there who miss what is obvious to others in those ads. I mean facing forward slumped in bad posture with bad lighting and then standing up, sucking it in at a 1/4 to full profile with diffuse lighting. I sometimes think the before and after shots were done on the same day.

How would one know they're not a successful photographer without having tried the best equipment?
One clue would be they have not generated enough income to buy or even rent the best equipment. That would be a hint at lack of success.

That is an excellent, up-to-date resource of information. It is written by the professional association of Plastic Surgeons. The setup is clearly explained and the instructions are easy to follow. Good illustrations!
I just did a search to find it, but was also very impressed with the precision. This would result in very different before and after shots than what we are used to seeing in diet and exercise machine adds.

Maybe we should take this literally. Parchment paper is good for cameras. Pinhole cameras.

Cell phone cameras have come a long way. But for action shots, they are not there yet.

For cleaning your lens? Try 000 steel wool. If that does not work, go back to the parchment paper.
