he is an OG bot, a pioneer bot
Does he make up content to react to? Is that his thing?
Pppffffssshhhh.... 5k?!?that is hobby level money. I'm over 15k into just my lenses and I do this as a hobby and shoot friends and family for free.
Bro... Shooting your friends and family is messed up.... Whether someone pays you to or not...
Post a photo so we know you're legit
We demand man ass
If people just want the uber price for pictures, hire the uber to pick you up and ask him to take a picture of you with your cellphone. Then you'll have a $12 picture that you can do whatever you want with.
Looks like a Canon?
Canon RF lenses are outrageously priced, even amongst other outrageous ILC brands, because they lock out third parties. So yeah, this lady got ripped off.
Ehh, They're more expensive, but most of them come with IS.
I'd still rather shoot Nikon.
It's not the IS that makes them expensive, it's the locked out ecosystem and the monopoly they have. I'm not saying they're not good - they are (from what I've seen), but healthy competition, if it existed, would've driven the prices down a bit.
As for IS itself, since the move to IBIS, it makes sense that some lenses drop the IS and only rely on the body's. IMO it used to matter in the DSLR days when IBIS was not really a thing. Nowadays it's sensible to only put it into the longer lenses that physically need it (the longer the lens, the more physical movement required to compensate and so on).
The APS-C lenses are awful. And the FF ones with IS, especially the zooms, have outrageous barrel distortion that crops the sensor a ton... on $2K lenses.
This is the brand new 20-50mm F/4 for instance, and its not even the worst offender. It's $1400:
The Thypoch 24-50 2.8, for comparison, which is like 1/3 the price on Sony E. This is $650, often less on sale:
I'm speaking as someone who mistakenly bought into Canon APS-C. I loathe it, as a hobbyist with a Canon SLR for years.
I'm selling out, as soon as I see with what Fuji/Panasonic/Sony cook up within the year.
Yes, rf did take a nosedive
How great that there is still EF. I just got myself an r10 since Sony dosent currently have a current aps-c (want that because I throw up from the laggy ones like the 6400 had when I tried it) for around the 600-800€ range.
Also with tamron and others canon also confirmed that they are already licensing third parties.
But if you look at half recent ones like the Canon 70-300 is II USM or even a canon 18-55 is II (or Tamron 17-70 f/2.8, which I currently run, they're perfectly OK for what I'm using them for at least.
Only 5k? Sound like a hobby, because most professional photographers have a body that is already 5k by itself, plus several lenses ranging between 2 and 20k. I mean, I'm a hobby photographer and my gear already exceeds at least 8k. So stop bitching Karen.
the prices they charge and the inability to give me the damn RAWs is why I just got a camera instead.
Our wedding photographer gave us both RAWs and processed JPEGs
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Asked mine to give it to me RAW and it turned into a huge misunderstanding.
Ohhhh this pisses me off soooooo much. I decided to do family photos and specifically asked for the raws before I went into the shoot. They still gave me a hard time after the shoot to get the raws. They gave me a stripped down .dng without any camera settings. Ohhhh that pisses me off so much.
For the price of one shoot, you can buy someone's lightly used $5,000 kit on ebay. I've had a Canon I bought a decade ago that's still works great. Maybe got it for $250 or so IIRC.
I found a guy willing to chuck me RAWs for a lower price, still felt a bit ripped off. He shot 90% of the day on a walkabout zoom and the photos were nothing special.
The audacity to ask for the raw, unprocessed photos for a lower price, and then complain that they look boring.
You wanted the raws. Process them yourself.
Processing won’t do shit to a shitty shot, with terrible composition and lighting.
I mean this comment makes total sense if we pretend that all photos are equally valuable and that the color balance is the only issue but not if we actually address the part where the photographer ostensibly took a bunch of poorly framed candids and failed to capture the energy of the moment
Oops, sorry, I forgot you already decided that the photographer must have been the good guy so that means I’m wrong
The audacity to ask for the raw, unprocessed photos for a lower price, and then complain that they look boring.
That has the same energy as going to a restaurant and asking for the raw ingredients.
Cars nowadays are made such they break down. They break down unlike cars before. They break down like a hoax.
Someone didn't buy a Toyota!
Yeah and that Uber driver can't afford rent. Photographers often have less business in the winter, too, and they have a ton of extra equipment to lug around. I know a wedding photographer and it's a lot of work day of and post work to make sure it's all nice.
Uber effectively corner a market and have drivers working for very little.
Uber and Lyft are terrible to their workers, but you can still call a cab.
My education cost 200,000. You think I made all that back in one paycheck? Cry me a river, Natalie.
