richard_cox2 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 This is meant to be a tongue and cheek discussion on what makes a real photographer. I'll start. A real photographer has a photo of the moon and a peacock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainer_t Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 "a real photographer" ... the term reminds me on an older text called "Real programmers don't use pascal" ... with that in mind ... Real photographers of course don't use photoshop. They don't even use digital at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandysocks Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ok, Laura. I am phased by light meters. I don't meter very much. I am not a real photographer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff_foale Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Additional to Danny's suggestion. 'A real photographer can get the shot he/she envisions, regardless of conditions.' - And they don't even have to think about it. I get so envious. But I suppose that's life.

joshroot Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well, I'm "real" in that I actually exist. Though some days when I look at the photo.net mailbag, I wish I was computer generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
