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.

You just spent more effort typing out your response than it would’ve taken that guy to write the name of a lens. Writing a lens name isn’t teaching. I actually teach photography for a living. Explaining a concept is teaching. Stating something from the metadata isn’t teaching. Paywalling the metadata is hustle bro greed.

Nobody owes anyone the information on their process for free.

You don’t want to pay? That’s fine. You aren’t entitled to that information. Period.

Calling a photographer “that chick” is just another reason why your opinion doesn’t count.

Dude, my opinion counts enough for you to have felt compelled to reply. 🤣
