he's shooting with live view? flash in daylight?

Oh, are we sharing stories about people with DSLRs who have no reason to have them?

I saw Pfizer Fantasia a few months ago - it's this musical horse exhibition, you guys probably don't care - I saw this girl a few rows in front of my pull out a Sony DSLR with the kit lens, turns it on and immediately went to Live View, and since it's on Auto it popped up the flash. The action was a good 200+ feet away.

More recently, at an art show, I saw a guy with a 40D. He was taking pictures of the "art" in auto mode, which caused the pop-up flash to go off, and since all the stuff was framed, I'm sure he got some nice pictures of his flash reflecting off the glass.

Especially the ones looking at the screen going : I CANT SEE SHIT IT DOESNT SHOW ANYTHING.

this used to be standard behaviour with film SLRs. The only reason you think it's different is because you're a kid who never saw mass film SLRs in use.

newfags!

>>741211
Your opening line suggests otherwise.

>>741215
Oh man, right, I'm so sorry I'm not in my late 40s and balding.

using (even that crap built-in) flash in daylight can be really efficient when shooting against the light.

also he could be using live view to double check his focus with that 10x magnification thing. it's really helpful especially if your lens has autofocus issues.

everyone has their own way of shooting and yours is not necessarily better than that guy's in op's pic. the photo he's taking in that shot might be better and more interesting than anything you (or i) have ever taken.

I only know how it makes the camera manufacturers feel:

cha-CHING!!!$$$

/p/ is probably too young to realize that during the early 1990s the 35mm film SLR industry was dying. Nobody was buying enough of 'em to make it profitable.

Now, all the people who used to buy P&S cameras are buying d$LR$.

$o, Japan velly, velly happy.

>>741221
As if he could be focusing manually, he doesn't even have his hand on the lens.

>>741221
>the photo he's taking in that shot might be better and more interesting than anything you (or i) have ever taken.
Seems unlikely, since by looking, I'd say he's probably taking a picture of the guy who's taking his picture.
>everyone has their own way of shooting and yours is not necessarily better than that guy's in op's pic.
One of the reasons people warn against using live view for normal shooting on DSLRs is because camera shake is much worse when you hold the camera out from your body as opposed to up to your eye.

Has no one noticed his finger isn't on the shutter release? It's on the front dial so presumabley he's changing some settings, the lower end Canons don't have the top screen so he'll have to look at the rear screen instead.

>>741245
Even on my Rebel, setting are visible in the viewfinder.

>>741253
Not all of them. Plus if you're changing a lot of settings it would make sense to bring the camera away from your face.

Typical Canon user.

whats wrong with him? because he uses live-view?? using viewfinder with glasses is much more of work and more complicated than just going with live view.

>>741259
>using viewfinder with glasses is much more of work and more complicated than just going with live view.
Horseshit. I use the viewfinder, with glasses, all the time, and have yet to have have a single problem.

>>741264
Lol, chill brah, not everyone is as super cool as you.

I don't get it

>>741264
same here.

>>741257
lol at the 2 gooks ready to steal his camera and getting away on a motorbike after a couple of kungfu moves

So what's the proper way to hold a camera? Sideways and all pretentious-like?

>>741362
One hand, obviously on the shutter release, and the other holding the lens. Yeah that lens, it has mass. By not holding it the lens can and will tilt your camera effectively just adding to the camera shake.

>>741362


>implying holding your camera correctly makes you pretentious

>>741185flash in daylight?
protip: fill flash

>>741362
>also implying that there isn't a well-established and useful technique to holding a camera

>>741416
>implying it's forbidden to ever hold it any other way

>>741192
people shouldnt need a reason to own a DLSR other then "I want a camera"
They dont need to justify their purchase by taking amazing photos or using it in manual all the time.
I hate this mentality of lol only pro's and good photographers should have a DSLR no one else should. You get it with musicians hey that guy cant even play guitar yet he has a £3000 gibson!
If people want to spend alot of money on something which they wont use much or wont be able to use properly thats their decision stop being so butthurt over it.

yall are fags

seriously
yall r super fags

fagging over some fag with a camera is no way to properly fag.

after you get a real job youll realize you dont fuckin care about fags

does anyone realize that you're all arguing about some kid with a camera?

>>741130
are we supposed to rage because he is using it in live view.

>>741893
No, they don't need a reason. No, I don't really care that they have them, in fact, it's a good thing, it supports the industry, and I'm OK with that.

But they are people with more money than talent, and I will make fun of them for it.

>>741853
>implying that any other way is better

I don't get the joke. What's wrong with the guy?

I'm a proud Cannon user.

Feels good man.
