The photog wasn't aiming to please you, he was aiming to please his client ( whether that client has low expectations and taste, is up for debate ) However, while we are sitting here pissing and moaning about it, that guy is cashing his check and paying his bills. Guess the jokes on us.Pardon my rant, I've had a glass and a half of wine.
Why is it that it seems that once one gets a DSLR, they decide to"go pro" while their pics look like crap? I suppose one could fix certain things in photoshop or some other post processing technique, but why wouldn't you want to learn how to correctly shoot the subject in the first place? How is it that some "pros" are on a beginners forum asking straight up simple questions?
So I get my brothers' pics from his wedding last month and OMG, some are good, but there is nothing special about them except some photoshopping etc...and the lady charged 3500 FREAKING dollars!
I guess I am a perfectionist, if I didn't have a solid understanding of the foundations of photography, I would never sell myself to someone else as being a pro.
Also, "pro" is a reference to being paid, don't confuse it with meaning "extremely skilled"
