People who shoot photos with their lens hood on backwards

[Bungle73]

Pros usually carry a kit bag, so the lens hood could be kept in there.

I've no idea wtf you are talking about, or how it relates to the post you quoted?

 

[neonwilderness]

The only time I use a lens hood is when it's drizzling - to keep rain off my lens. When it stops raining, I turn the lens hood round until I can be arsed to put it back in my bag. I don't care if this is illegal or not.

You clearly haven't got any idea what you are doing

 

[Bungle73]

You're the one insisting that you know best.

Professional photographers all have different ways of working, so why don't you express your opinion and tell me what experience you're basing it on?

No, you're the one insisting I am 100% wrong about this and then ignoring all the evidence I posted.

hoods are for pussy 'oles. use your hand, if you have to. pussy 'oles.

I use a newspaper or magazine held over the camera. Sometimes, an umbrella.

It was supportive of your position. Don't assume that everyone is jumping down your throat.

 

[editor]

It's a fucking waste of time talking to you. You are completely ignoring all the evidence I've put to you.

A FUCKING PRO PHOTOGRAPHER OF THIRTY YEARS HAS SAYS UV FILTERS ARE USELESS. WHY THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU SAYING HE IS WRONG?

Oh, a caps lock hissy fit! When you've calmed down, could you explain why everyone should exclusively listen to the opinion of 'one fucking pro' who I've never heard of?

What about the opinions of other fucking pro photographers?

And yes of course I watched the video - AND YOU CONVENIENTLY IGNORE MIKE BROWNE'S VIDEO. And he agrees with what I've been saying all along. As for the comments, they are either agreeing, or saying that UV filters do not degrade image quality, which is bollocks.

Are you on drugs?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Btw, bungle, it isn't that stupid a question. It gets discussed in lots of photo forums.

So, we're only supposed to listen to the opinions of people you've heard of huh? And someone's thirty years of experience counts for nothing, nor that they have one of the most popular and imo best photography tutorial channels on YT?

Sorry, but I didn't understand what you meant.

The question isn't stupid but the way he's shouting about it here sure is.

 

[paul russell999]

What does worry me is people with baseball caps on back to front. Now that is plain wrong.

 

[Bungle73]

I shout because it's quite apparent that you are picking pieces of what I say and ignoring others, which is VERY frustrating.

Perhaps you missed it when I patiently explained that different photographers have different ways of working. What one individual thinks (who I've never heard of) is neither here nor there. Seeing as you seem to hold such store by the pro bit, have you ever worked professionally as a photographer, by the way?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I've also been noticing this reverse hood thing in the past couple of years. I don't recall seeing it before. I say that because I look at other people's cameras. I think it might also be part fad.

So, what about that opinion by another fucking pro photographer? You going to ignore that? Why?

To me, seeing a lens hood backwards makes me look at the person the same way I would if their hat was on backwards.

So I say again, we're only supposed to listen to people who a) you've heard of, and b) agree with what you think? What's you're experience?

A quote from Tony Northrup's book:

Some people will tell you to use a UV filter to protect your lens. Filters reduce the image quality by requiring light to pass through an unnecessary layer, and they can also introduce flaring and vignetting. The cheap filter will scratch, which night make you think it's saving your lens, but your lens (typically made of glass) is actually pretty scratch-resistant. For those reasons I don't recommend using a UV filter.

 

[editor]

Pretty sure this person's doing it wrong.

The Bungle73 metamorphosis is really weird. Transition from unremarkable longtime occasional poster to consistent and persistent competitor for bolshy pub-wanker of the year in the blink of an eye.

 

[Bungle73]

I haven't ignored anything. You're one claiming I'm some sort of idiot for taking a side. You're the one who doesn't even want to listen to anyone with a counter view, no matter who they are.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

So I say again, we're only supposed to listen to people who a) you've heard of, and b) agree with what you think? What's you're experience?

A quote from Tony Northrup's book:

I swear by my UV filter on my SLR.

No, I say listen to as many pros as you can and make up your own mind for what suits you best. And whatever you do, don't listen to just one CAPS LOCK RANTING person who suddenly elevates the opinion of one little known snapper over that of everyone else's, because that clearly would be a very silly way to act.

Oh, wait...

One "litter" snapper? He is a pro of thirty years. How many more fucking times?

I posted three videos that say UV's are usless.

Tony Northrup says they are useless

Why are being such a HUGE dick about this?

That's your problem, right there.

My problem here is you.

 

[Bungle73]

I swear by my UV filter on my SLR.

Why?

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Why?

Because in certain lighting situations here, the photos seem to look better. Actually, I swore by it. Last summer, I dropped my camera and the filter broke. I said 'fuck' so loud, that everyone within a block of me at Italian Days heard it. I haven't replaced it yet.
