The best one I ever saw was someone had bought a new 5D that morning (upgrading from a Rebel or something) and was shooting their first wedding THAT AFTERNOON.

People selling “snake oil” gear (Yes, Gary Fong, I’m looking at you) and “influencers” selling gear with their name on for 5x what it’s worth.

When people post on Facebook/forums “I’m shooting my first wedding for a client tomorrow, what does “Av” mean?”

The same with TTL flash. I saw someone on Facebook insisting that if you were a professional you didn’t use TTL and thought “do you want to tell Joe McNally he’s not a professional or shall I?” It’s a tool, sometimes it’s the correct tool, sometimes it isn’t.

Isn’t Lomography/Impossible Project’s whole business model based on that?
