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 have such a bad experience meeting other photographers in the wild. Telling me my way of doing things isn't right, that my gear isn't good. Like dude, I didn't ask.

Seems there are places I don’t go. At best I get a friendly nod acknowledging a fellow photographer. Usually people just aren’t that worried about what I’m doing. I’ve been asked for help with a certain thing someone is trying to do.
