Thumbs down Things that other photographers do that bug me...

My list {so far} :
1.Over editing
2.Harsh Flash
3.Poses that look and feel awkward.
4.Not using natural light. {I try to shoot almost everything in natural light it bugs me so much }

Sorry, had to rant. See, thing is, I can't tell them because I'm not technically a photographer yet.

My list {so far}

1. People who use center justification for writing a letter, forum post or post-it note; which makes it difficult to read as the general customary thing to do is left justification. We are not e.e.cummings.

2. People who complain about others not doing it the way they would do it.



So far that's it. I'm technically not a photographer either.

Just sayin'.

What's wrong with not using natural light? If natural light isn't available, why not use artificial? I call myself an "available light photographer" - I use whatever light is available, be it natural, my AlienBee, or my speedlight.

All done with my AlienBee:

I saw a photographer shoot a wedding completely in Auto once, complete with the little pop up flash for every shot, irritated the hell out of me.

This just jumped out to me...if you're not "technically a photographer yet", then why are you starting a photography business?
