Oh
My
Word…

The “test” shots…why would you post those? I mean, those are the ones I delete in camera! I’ll admit I’ve taken the photos of my dining room light to play with exposures and play with depth of field but I would NEVER post them anywhere. There’s absolutely no reason to! “Test” shots to be posted would be like giving yourself a project and watching the changes from a day to day to show examples of progress or a growing understanding.

Boasting about a T3 is silly to me. It would be one thing if it was like “Hey now, I use a T3 and these are the kind of shots I get -insert link to great shots with an understanding of lighting/composition/mechanics-, so you can use a less expensive camera!” but not in the attitude of “Oh, you uses a 5D Mk II? Well aren’t weeee fancy. Not everyone can afford… blah blah blah”

I would be horrified if I were ever that thick! I worry about my work ALL the time (I struggle with self confidence…) but I have never ever thought that something on that level was God’s gift to the photographic community.
