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.

whoever that photog is , he/she is smart AF

they're capitalizing on a certain category of people who want all their information pasted into their brain.

whoever wants can find almost infinite amount of information on any lens , a ton of material to find how a specific lens looks.

Asking what lens did you use in this shot, puts you into that category

As a photographer it's up to you to chose the lens that fits your vision , asking another photographer WHY he/she chose a lens is much better than WHAT lens

my 2 cents

Kinda have to agree… and not only because I am doing the same thing.
