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.

Is this weird or just me? (alien.top)

I was interacting in a discussion on the threads all and asks the question of what lenses they decided to shoot a certain photo with, they responded that they only divulge that information for a specific tier of this Patreon. Is it just more or is they really weird and gatekeepy? Hell, if anyone asked me what glass I was shooting on I’d happily let them know the lenses and anything else they wanted to know, just seems hella weird to me.

I used to run a lawn care business that was really successful and had no issues making over 10k a month. I quit that business to pursue college and photography. I learned so much and that taught me the in's and outs. Like being a grandmaster chest player. You don't want to just give out the secrets because your information is very valuable. I could turn your starter lawncare company into $100k a year easily. Why would I give out the information for free taking time out of my day to answer you? Pay the guy the $5 and get all that info and more if you want to shoot like him. It's just $5 and supports the creative.

How did you ever find time in your busy and incredibly productive day to grace us with this soulless response? Are you going to be invoicing us for the effort?
