What are the worst words in photography?

[Neare]

"We regret to inform you..."

 

[Vince Lupo]

"We regret to inform you..."

Definitely -- could apply to many things...photo lab, insurance company, airport luggage tracking service, even a client (my least favourite).

 

[rbiemer]

indeed. Tranny always makes me imagine some kind of transvestite grandmother. Don't know why.

Transvestite grandfather maybe? 😀

>"Sure, I can fix that lens, let me get the WD-40."

1) You don't need another camera, lens, etc. (Well, I know she is right, BUT still the worse words in photography)
2) Why did you have to buy so many films? It would be much cheaper if you use my fathers Digicam... and then we would get to SEE some of your pictures before next June...
3) You are ALLWAYS in your darkroom. And I would understand that when you do that once in a while and come up with some more prints and not only two or three after a whole evening in there
4) It would look better if you would have used a colour film, don#t you think so?

(to be continued...)

Sorry sir your insurance doesn't cover that........

 

[AJShepherd]

Did nobody put "lomographer"?

 

[Ade-oh]

'amateur glamour'

 

[Riverman]

"Nice capture"

Urgh. A cringe inducing expression.

 

[Renzsu]

megapixels

+1.. "Nice capture" is the worst!

 

[coelacanth]

I personally don't have much of problem with "capture" but I've seen people hating it. Someone commented "great capture" on my photo on flickr and someone else was "correcting" him saying that's a wrong thing to say. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

One of the worst I've heard recently:

"No we have no plan of getting new rolls of LegacyPro 400."

and (ok make it two)

"Sorry our inventory database was wrong. Neopans are actually out of stock so we are canceling your order of 50 rolls."

 

[eddie1960]

1. "Glass" instead of "lens"
3. People's unhealthy obsession with sharpness, bokeh, and chromatic aberration of a lens.
7. Friends letting me know that I can bring my camera to [enter family event]. Translation, free photographer.

these would be in my top 5 and #2 is my number one complaint. the image is what counts not the gear😡

 

[sanmich]

" Excuse me - No photography allowed "

Oh yes....
The only one that really bothers me.
the rest makes me smile...

 

[Renzsu]

"I just bought this awesome lens, so here's some pictures of a wall"

ok maybe I'm stretching it..

Art director, Don't worry, we will Photoshop it later.

I was talking to a friend that I normally prefer cameras without all the automation stuff (TLR and RF) if I have the time to do so, but took the EOS 3 at a concert because of the faster handling.

(She was also there and saw the camera)

She said: "Yes and they [the new cameras] are not so loud as the old ones. Your camera (the EOS 3) was quite loud."

Is the EOS 3 an old camera 😕

 

[Kolame]

Is being „old“ bad or good now?

 

[weetsie]

bokeh, hate it :bang:
