Photography

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.

A lot of toxic egos on photo forums? (alien.top)

Has anyone else noticed that most photography forums outside of Reddit have some very opinionated, bitter arsch-holes as members? I cannot find a single forum outside of Reddit that offers positive / constructive criticism, just people who are toxic beyond belief...

I haven't noticed that in the fora I visit. MFlenses and Pentax Forums seem like nice places. I mostly stick to places that like using old and obsolete sensors and glass.

To me, the cutting-edge modern gear discussions seem too Type-A Alpha Male Tribalistic My-gear-purchasing-decisions-reign-supreme-over-yours. So much competition to have the hottest gear.
