What are the worst words in photography?

[lxmike]

why bother with film, I hate it when someone asks that one

 

[patois]

Someone else stole "bokeh," but I would throw down any magical descriptor of lens or photographic quality that has nothing to do with an image's interestingness or photographer's talent.

 

[emraphoto]

'we have no budget for a photographer but....'

insert exposure, portfolio, chance for work later etc.

 

[emraphoto]

but what steams me the most, over anything and everything, is 'real' photographer/photography.

a REAL photographer wouldn't use a holga.

digital isn't REAL photography.

REAL photographers don't send film to labs.

REAL (sometimes in disguise as 'serious') photographers would/wouldn't use 1 lens.

 

[t.s.k.]

Joy to use and net to me has bugged me for a while.

I can't believe you're still using film: you're such a douchebag hipster. Hey, is that a Lomo?

I hate those 'snotty chicks' who don't look at me because i am not carrying a leica!

You can hate them all you want, as long as you tell me where to meet one 😛

(When I was a wedding photographer) My fiances' best friend from college is starting a photography business...he is going to shot our wedding.

A month later she asked me how good I was with Photoshop and could I "fix" the pictures she got. After looking at them, I told her I was not that good with Photoshop!

When people use the term "analogue" when they mean film photography.

that and DSLR. I hate that term. I say, Digital reflex camera... people really react to that one!

I just say SLR. It's the SLR part that's important, not the Digital part.

1. Dang! That camera looks expensive. I need to get me a camera like that.
2. That lens is huge! I bet you can take some far-off stuff with that (referring to 24-70L).
3. Wait, how do you focus this? The little yellow square has to line up with what?
4. I shoot film, too! I just got a, um, Holga? Or something like that. It's cool.
5. We weren't able to get your film out of the canister so we couldn't develop that roll. Sorry. (Rite-Aid)
6. I'm gettin' married in June. I was going to ask you to be in the wedding but then I remember you take photos. How much do you charge for weddings?
