A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

"Professionals." I am talking about the girls who get a prosumer camera for Christmas and by mid-January they have their Facebook business pages up, advertising mini-sessions and wedding packages. Yes, I know, their client is not my client but it annoys me how people with zero experience and a crying lack of skills can pollute the local industry with their nonsense.
When people post on Facebook/forums “I’m shooting my first wedding for a client tomorrow, what does “Av” mean?”
"It means artistic violation, kid, which is what you're about to do with that camera"
Never seen that. Awesome.
The best one I ever saw was someone had bought a new 5D that morning (upgrading from a Rebel or something) and was shooting their first wedding THAT AFTERNOON.
Well, good thing they had a 5D.
