What is the rap for carrying and shooting a dslr?

That photographer who uses full auto, he insulted me.

Did he have a mullett?

tecboy, why do you make these kind of photos? What reasons do you give, if asked by the locals?

You mean my flickr photos, some of the shots where crimes occurred. Everywhere is not safe where I live. Other photos are far away from where I live. These areas are friendly environments, I have no issues. My local places are really not safe.

tbh tecboy, I don't really understand what you do or your reasons for doing it. It's hard to empathize with your negative experiences or make suggestions. It sounds unsafe. Either accept the risks as they are, change your approach, or cease and desist.

I know some fairly well to do people. And none of them have a dslr. The only two people I know with a dslr are moonlight photographers and they are closer to the poorer side of this equation. The new thing now is high end point and shoots, bridge cameras and more recently mirrorless.
Most are still using point and shoots or cellphones. But they are paying for their point and shoots and cellphones what some are paying for the lower tier dslrs.

And if so had he fed it recently?

I was hanging around with one photographer, he has small body and long lens, and he uses full auto all the time. The funny thing is one lady asked him, "Are you from the press?"

Full auto most of the time its f4 @ 1/60th, good luck with a quality image there.

Auto ISO is the better option for dealing with changing light

I can't stand full auto on my camera. The built in flash pop up, flashes twice, and finally the shutter. It takes two seconds to shoot.

I handed my camera off to my dad in full auto. Turned out the 10 second timer was on. The last owner had to have done that, because that's the only time I've set it to auto. The look on his face was quite amusing as he tried to figure out the menus though.

The main reason I upgraded, besides crappy image quality, was the fact that on ANY mode using autofocus (manual focus on that thing is impossible and laughable) in anything other than BRIGHT sunlight, the flash would pop up and the thing would hunt until it didn't get a lock and gave up. My wife has epilepsy, and complained that while I was trying to get photos of our son, the flash was giving her strange feelings, and that's not something you wanna hear.

I usually just get accused of being a terrorist or a child molester.

When I see someone carrying an expensive DSLR, I just imagine the film gear that could be bought instead with that money.....such a waste..:crazy:

As above, I always wondered if this person was really getting their £500+ worth of camera out of it.
Or wondering if they are just a novice, or its actually there job. And alot of the time after seeing the result, couldn't see the point of the majority of the shots, and how I couldn't see the difference of what i could achieve with a compact or sometimes my phone.
Luckily after coming on sites like this, Ive seen alot more variety.
I think it would really help if there was a one stop gallery to showcase cameras at different settings, compared to modern camera phones and compacts, to show to the general public.
