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.

Wtf is going on here? Photography is not rocket science. If one understands basics of exposure triangle and light and has a modicum of creativity, they're off to the races. Vision is all that's left.

Why would anyone see a photo and be like "What lens did you use?"

It’s more just to have a friendly conversation whilst praising their work (was more Wondering if they used a filter or did the effect in post) and it caught me off side, I’ve been shooting photography for 10 and skating for 23 years, I wouldn’t dream of paywalling someone if they asked me how I do a specific trick, always happy help others
