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.

Not weird. They want to be paid for their knowledge. Whether people pay is a different discussion.

They're under no obligation, of course, but it is unusual for a photographer to put gear info behind a paywall.

I never realised how many beginners are looking to replicate shots, I was more just trying to ale some friendly conversation with the photographer
