Being New to Photography
Oct 31, 2021 10:25:40 #
I can't imagine what it's like to be new to photography. I've had cameras since I was about 10 years old. Back then, I bought film and pushed the shutter button. Today, a new photographer has to choose among various types of cameras and then figure out how to use it off "Auto." That's just the beginning. I used to ride my bike to the candy store to pick up my pictures after they were printed. Today, a new photographer has to decide what processing program to buy.
It's good that beginners have UHH to help them along the path.

And look at the help they offer ...
shoot in RAW
shoot in Manual
buy a book on Exposure
your camera is the wrong brand
your camera doesn't have enough pixels
you're not a photographer if you don't own the most expensive camera
you're not a photographer if you edit in 8-bit
you can't succeed if your camera has a mirror
It's enough to make someone just use their phone ...

This is a very divisive forum. I would take everything with a grain of salt. Very strong opinions. I joined after many years of photography .. I do what works for me. Be yourself and do what works for you. If you are happy with your technique and photos that is all that matters.

New user’s (piglet?) intro post should be a list of all their equipment & software. Sort thru all the flak (hellfire, bullshit, etc), make a list of all the haters. Block/unfriend/whatever it takes to not see any of their posts. That should eliminate about 99% of your morning read. 👹👹👹

Funny, but my experience has been just the opposite, with people apologizing because they thought they might have offended someone. I haven't seen the level of personal attack we have here on other forums.

Many fail to differentiate between an ‘opinion’, an ’explanation’, a ‘suggestion’, a ‘directive’ or a ‘mandate’. Human nature seems biased towards the latter.

Well, the way I see it, people offer suggestions, and the reader can consider them. Giving reasons for ideas helps one to make a decision.
