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.

The very-slight green tint that I can't seem to be able to avoid, despite getting into the color settings - always have to fix it a little bit later. I heard it's a Sony thing?
If anyone has advice to avoid green (while maintaining a good balance of everything else), I'd much appreciate it (though, it's not a huge deal to fix either)
Random naked women shot on film. Just because it's on film doesn't make it more or less "art" than the same photo on digital. Gives me the icks.
And of course /r/analog will make sure it's on the front page.

My wedding photographer teaches courses on flash, but didn’t know how to navigate the white marquee/tent we had over our reception at our wedding.
You know. The thing you bounce into/off of.
People talking about bokeh. If you’re spending your time analyzing shit that’s out of focus, you’re kind of missing the point.
Not having money for an auto tracking camera, for pet photography. (I'm working with rebel t3i, and dogs and cats are fast fast )
the T2i has AI Servo ...
That I have to pay a subscription for Adobe instead of a one time purchase (I know elements exists but I just want lightroom classic and photoshop as a one time purchase).
you could buy Capture One or ON1, both of which are excellent
People who think I’m a Walgreens and want me to print all of their photos
Self portraits in a mirror with the face behind the camera
Street photography with backs of people. Backs are ok if done for a good reason - see Lee Friedlander "New York City, 1966" and others for examples of well done 'backs '.
Street photography with subjects waaaay far away. Get closer. Zoom with your feet.
I suppose I'll be down-voted and told to let people do what they want, but to me, it isn't really street photography.
both of those are just people who aren't confident to get in front of, or close to their subjects. i agree i think they should just go out and shoot much more instead before sharing. i see way too many "tried street photography for the first time" posts that's just that crap. nobody needs to see anything you've done for the first time.
In movies or shows it annoys me so much to see people holding the camera wrong! Silly but it looks so goofy and amateur.
also that stock sound effect from a film camera when it's not a film camera.

wedding photography/phers
Digital cameras and phone cameras that make a simulated film camera sound on shutter release. The sound is not even remotely close to the sound of any film camera. Same in movies too.
Legally they have to have sound that is recognizable to the general public that a camera has taken a photo. It’s not everywhere just some states but because of that it works everywhere. Early on you could turn off the sound and people were using them to take photos in bathrooms and up skirts. Now they have to do a camera sound ( even if you can get around it with headphones).
Wow! I didn't know that.
Yeah. It was like the second model of the iPhone that had to have it. (It’s all software related.) but yeah all because of creepy people.

For me, it’s photographers being condescending towards beginners. Everyone starts somewhere and nothing projects insecurity worse than established photographers treating beginners like crap.
People obsessed with contrast and sharpness to the detriment of the image itself.

Light obsessed photographers. Usually I find they haven't quite figured out how to do great colour work yet.
Ones who will trap themselves to a time of day/night because it's good light. I have friends who will only shoot the same images all the time at night in the rain, which is fine if you have a style that you're confident with, but they feel genuinely incapable of branching out to daylight or even diversifying to dawn/dusk because they make banger sad rain cyberpunk photos and that's all they know. If they aren't in Asia, they're photographing Chinatown only, because of the cool signs.
Ones who will never graduate and learn to see colour in compositions so they're either sticking to safe black and white, or some kind of light that naturally bleaches or dulls most colour like golden hour. It does look nice done right, no doubt. However, having every photo in basically a muted pseudo sepia or black and white seems like wasted potential just to avoid working a scene to compose for colour also. I find it so rare that colour is even a relevant addition in most colour photography I see. Often people will crank up the white balance well over 5000k for daylight to get a muddy brown "golden hour" effect all day and basically ignore it rather than try to do anything interesting with it.
Selfies taken in bathroom mirrors while looking into the phone. Turn the camera...use the friggin timer...get out of the bathroom!!!! 😂
Being called a “camera man” 😅
