effect of overloaded owners of SLR cameras

1st of all, the usual apologies for having a life n not updating this blog more frequently. lols kidding. was kinda busy n had many issues b4. now all of it are considered done n i can finally find a boring place in my life to update this blog of mine. +_+


i think we all know that SLR cameras are everywhere these days. its a trend. but what are the effects of this scenario? from what i can see, ppl are starting to spend more, coz SLR camera's price range if i'm not mistaken would be more than RM1000 for a complete basic set. yes ppl are learning to save their money, some even cut down on their eating just to save up money to buy these cameras. but once they have enuf money, they spend it all at once just for that camera, only to act cool with it (well, ppl ARE overrating the device to me lol)


this scenario also created DOZENS of self-proclaimed photographers. taking normal pictures that can be taken better with a cameraphone (well not in terms of pic resolution of course) and just edit the picture afterwards with the additional "blablabla photography" on it. lol. n most of the photographers today just build their reputation just by being friends with good looking dudes and chicks and taking photos of them. thus, the word gets out that the person taking that picture is a photography GOD. *sigh*


another self-proclaimer that arises with this 'trend' on my observation would be the self-proclaiming models. just because they're friends with ppl who owns SLRs, they're usually invited to photo shootings by their friends to hv their pictures taken in the best possible manner to make they look perfect inside that photo session. n just because of that, they're claiming themselves as 'models'. *another sigh*


as the circle goes, ppl buys SLR, claiming to be a photographer, are friends with good looking peeps, invites them for a photoshoot, taking normal pictures, but the good looking peeps dont know a thing about ACTUAL photography uploads in onto facebook n calls it ART and claiming that the photographer is a photography GOD while claiming to be a 'part-time' model.


trust me, there are ppl spending their wealth to take pictures like this


well they're better of buying a normal digital camera instead IMO. lols



LOLOLOL

Hello...Like this post!

Keeps noticing people with huge sophisticated black cameras around their necks these days too! I wonder why...Is this some kind of trend or what? Suddenly everybody loves to snap snap! And she’s or he’s definitely doesn’t want to be left out. Hey, you even can’t explain what’s the function of filter, shutter or whatsoever, yet you want to claim yourself as a photographer? And it’s too bad that you even don’t know what does SLR stands for....yet you claim yourselves as a photographer...God T_________T...

& Hello to those "hot newborns model", Apply cosmetic, not ICI Nippon Paint Dulux on your face, occay? =P

Well, photography is an art! Don't simply claim yourself as a photographer just because your pocket are loaded enough to buy that sophisticated SLR, then hang it proudly around your necks before you possess at least basic knowledge of photography..

Daaaa!~
