Photography

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 have a patreon tier like this so I kinda feel the other side. I put in a great deal of effort to write down the process of editing or developing, used gear, location, models, lighting etc.

I used to answer questions like these, but I do try to point people towards my patreon nowadays. Sure, happy to have a discussion, but honestly if you don’t value my insight to “buy me a coffee”, than go fuck yourself, I am not chatgpt.

Location and model questions are more annoying… its a lot of effort to scout them out. If someone wants to learn, happy to help, but to copy? Pay first. That was my rant :D
