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.

I learned of help vampires recently, but I think it's more likely Google being blocked for people (not really).

Perhaps nobody ever teaching them to efficiently search the web or even YouTube, or trying to make their questions too specific to the point that they're not searchable. Or the sample/reporting(?) bias we never see the questions from people who are able to find answers without posting, and only see the ones who seem to use asking reddit as plan A. Another major one is anything that stems from a class. Ask the instructor. Ask other students.

These are really excellent points to consider when I want to use the “I googled it for you” website. Thanks
