What's new

You're a photographer if......

  • You ask your mother in law what level of Gaussian blur she used at the family Christmas gathering.
  • You forgot your anniversary to shoot a WEDDING!
  • Your camera lens costs more than your car.
  • If you take your camera everywhere you go and when you don’t that’s when you find the perfect shot.
  • If you see the sunsets in aperture and f-stop.
  • Your friend refers to you as her personal paparazzi.
  • You’ve got blisters on your trigger finger.
  • You learn to ignore people admiring your shots and saying “Gee, you must have a great camera”!
  • You always see life through a lens.
 
  • You look at a decent scene someone else is photographing and shake your head because you already know their exposure is off.
  • When your biggest worry when packing for a holiday is that you forget your GND filters.
  • When you have multiple lens cleaning cloths on your person at any one time.
  • When on a tourist trip snd everyone else is photographing something and you pass on the shot because you don't need another mediocre shot of a standard scene.
 
Always critiquing photographs you find.
Almost make suggestions to the photographer, but then you remember that he is not a photographer.
You usually remember how much charge is in your batteries.
You've got 5,000 transparencies that you intend to scan someday.
You've got 10,000 digital files that you intend to sort someday.
You don't understand why nobody took pictures.
Or if they did take pictures, you don't understand why they keep them.
You've got all the stuff to set up a studio except the room.
You are ready to practice portraiture but lack a model.
 
You're more interested in the actor's camera during a movie. All great guys keep em coming!
 
You walk better in a dark room than a blind person.
 
You can calculate how many stops there are between ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/60 and ISO 800, f/11, 1/500.......... in your head.

You know how to pronounce bokeh .

You've made the effort to actually go view a show featuring Ansel Adams' work, printed by the master himself. And if you haven't, doing so is on your bucket list.
