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.

To me it seems like every feature Sony brings forth in their cameras seems to be replacing the skill or dedication that used to be needed to make a good photograph.

Can’t be arsed to time your shots? Don’t worry global shutter will basically let you shoot video. Don’t want to bother getting focus right? No worries, it’ll track the eye of a peregrine falcon mid flight.

I can’t help but think certain things are intrinsic to actually being a photographer and the over production of these cameras features takes away from the skills required to be good.

My 2 cents.

I dont like digital cameras

To me, it seems like every feature in digital cameras seems to be replacing the skill or dedication that used to be needed to make a good photograph.

Cant be arsed to develop your film in a darkroom? Dont worry, with a DSLR you can see the images you take immediately after you shoot them. Dont want to bother getting your exposure right yourself? No worries, just slap the camera on auto mode and it will do all the work for you.

I just like to capture the moments my family lives for posterity... with a digital camera, I take 1,000 pictures and 10 turn out better than I thought, and 990 I can pick apart and find something wrong with. I get the nicest gear I can justify getting with my limited budget, and I take nice pictures once a month or when we have a family event or vacation. I don't aspire to be a professional, make money at it or win awards. It's a hobby... My 2 cents.
