People who shoot photos with their lens hood on backwards

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?


My problem here is you.

By Christ you're an obnoxious cunt and a thick one with it. He's clearly saying different pro photographers have different opinions. He hasn't said you're "wrong." Just people have different approaches. Why can't you understand that. Are you ill?
 
Who is this Tony Northrup bloke? I just Googled him and his Wikipedia is "In June, 2000, Northrup won the Sexiest Geek Alive contest. Following the contest he made appearances on several TV shows, including Good Morning America, the Montel Williams Show, and To Tell The Truth."

Um, no he isn't. He is saying I'm "wrong" because I don't have "experience". He is saying Mike Browne is "wrong" because he's never heard of him and is a "little snapper" (what ever the fuck that means), despite the guy having been a pro for 30 years, having a successful photography business and being a professional photography instructer. He has been completely dismissive of everything point I've brought forward to back up my case.

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 sir are clearly an idiot x
 
What does worry me is people with baseball caps on back to front. Now that is plain wrong.

If they're not wearing it properly, then presumably they're just storing it for use at a later time? But if the cap is on the head, then surely it is in use, but in the INCORRECT MANNER?!?!

It's about the cap's peak. Keep sun out of eyes, maybe rain. So, instead of taking it off when not needed, they turn the peak to the back of the head.
 
Maybe I haven't been keeping up. There seems to be some massive hate-on for this bungle dude that is blossoming on what would otherwise be a pretty innocuous thread.

Weird innit? That's what I thought at first but if you check out some of the threads he's been on lately they're all Beef Central.

He's got an odd way about him that really tweaks peoples noses!

Given a bit of time he could become a legend.

Oh? Which "threads" are those then? There's only the Amazon thread where someone couldn't take being told they were wrong about something.

His liking of your post is a perfect example of why. He's a martyr for truth and straight-talking, and it's *everyone else* that's behaving like an arsehole.

Going by this thread alone, I'd say he didn't start the beef. Isn't there some sort of rule about not taking beef cross-thread?

He's started this thread to basically tell any photographer here that unless they're doing things his way, they're wrong. I'd say that's fairly inflammatory myself.

You're the one coming in here telling me I'm "wrong" and that I don't know what I'm talking about and that the pro photographers I brought up to back me up don't know what they're talking about either because you've "never heard of them" despite their extensive experience and other credentials.

All I did what was start a thread asking why people walk around with their lens hood on backwards, which is silly, and something that has been pointed out by other people too, just like I said in my OP.
