People who shoot photos with their lens hood on backwards

[editor]

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.

You are very wrong indeed to base your emphatic statements about photography on the statements of a handful of little-known pro photographers. You couldn't be more wrong, in fact.

Oh, and Mike Browne has worked in TV production as well.

I just put Mike Browne + UV filter in YT and it threw this up:


For the first 20 seconds he says (and I'm paraphrasing) "bear in mind what I'm about to say is not necessarily true, it's just my take on it and, my opinion...I'm not the least bit interested in cameras or camera equipment".

Great start!

at 8:04min he starts to addresses the UV filter conundrum.
at 9:00min "... It's up to you to decide if you need one"

So, seems he's a civil chap and leaves the people to decide for themselves what they use and how they use it.
Maybe you should follow his example.

It's just that Bungle normally keeps his blazing incredulity to threads about public transport.

you're too kind. i'd have said he generally only bungles threads about public transport. this is afaik a new low for him

You're the one who's causing trouble in this thread. You're one who keeps poo pooing the people I bring up despite their very impressive credentials.

I've only recently clocked him and I love the way he seems to get on absolutely everyone's tits without seeming to try.

Even xenon called him a cunt!

xenon tells it like it is

One. I'm not sure what you're getting at with the bolded part. He's not some amateur, he's a pro photographer of many years of some standing.

Two. He says he thinks they're useless, and that's good enough for me......but not for old Eddy over there who's only interested in the opinions of people he's heard of, even if they've got a list of credentials as longs as your arm.

Yeah, it's not that he's wrong. He just comes across as really aggressive knowall about it. He'd have peple on his side when he's been right if he wasn't such a twat about being "right."

It doesn't even get this narky in the Apple vs Windows vs Linux tech threads.

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?

It's not his content. It's his manner. That's not cross thread beef, it's his rudeness consistently rubbing people up the wrong way.

 

[Bungle73]

I haven't been "rude" or "aggressive". I just cannot stand it when in an argument someone completely ignores the points that have been made like they didn't exist, and poo poos quotes from experts for no good reason whatsoever. That's what's "rude".

I keep mine attached to my lenses all the time, either forwards when in use or backwards when not. That way I know where it is, so when I need to use it I don't realise that it's sat in another bag at home or something.

I'm clearly an idiot.

Me too ,at least on my 300 mm

The hood on that , is 68mm ring and wont fit any of my other lenses , it takes up no extra space in the bag backwards , and I leave it on even if I don't use it ....

works for me too , It hasn't occurred to me to look to see if other people do the same thing ? ...but I shall now after reading this thread ! .... these are things that need to be known .

 

[weltweit]

20mm sometimes use a rubber lens hood
50mm, usually don't bother, lens is recessed anyhow
85mm sometimes use the supplied hood but lens is recessed
28-70mm usually use the supplied plastic hood
80-400 use hood when out and about

 

[paul russell999]

Every time I need to know something now, I'm just going to see if Tony Northrup (sexiest geek alive) has made a YouTube video about it. Very useful thread. Thanks.
