Dealing with Morons

I,m stuck here at home in convalescence, with not much else to do than "cazzegare" on the internet in the usual places.

This particularly moronic post caught my eye. The usual "if it is not needed for my photography, then it is a waste of time and money post".

I started this thread, which should be fun

I got banned from DPR once for extolling the virtues of shift lenses, as it caused a lot of anger for some weird reason I could never fathom out.

HAND.

Now you are trolling me!

No, it is all about the way some people on a certain photo forum put down other peoples choices, as you can see in my first link.

Buy a high MP camera and sombody will tell you that 20MP, or even 6MP is fine and you have wasted your money. You wasted your money buying shift lenses, when you can do it in post is a mantra I get thrown at me when I make posts about these lenses.

Already on the second link, I am told it is just advertising and marketing that drive MP camera sales.

Everybody does different types of photography and needs or wants more or less sophisticated equipment, to suit what they do. I carefully chose the camera format I use, did a trail run with cheap SH gear, before buying a high MP FF camera. I read on a certain photo forum, that I chose Foolframe, as a small format sensor is good enough.

My title is a provocation, but the argument I set out above is a bit more serious. Let's see how my little experiment in the second link pans out.

Just got banned from DPR for my first thread. That did not take long.

Oh dear, I guess if she reads the Thread here dedicated to DPR moderation, its another lifetime ban.

Funny thing is that I do not care anymore.

PS I have a huge Maine Coon cat, that loves to chase little doggies with hats.

Less, less, I have used five so far. I need to make a new Email account somewhere. I will try to set one up with a different IP as they pick up all your old accounts.

Or maybe I will just give up.

I never got to see your thread before it was removed.

Could you post the title and content?

Which of the linked posts is moronic, or are they both?

The first is a reasonable question. Maybe he is right, or for his uses he is right.

The second is the moron, who thinks that only his uses count, and that high MP sensors are a waste of money. It is the attitude that pisses me off.

The title was "Why 100MP+ MF"

It was a one line post.

"Why do some areas of photography like fashion and architecture, use 100MP+ medium format cameras?"

Hardly something to get the smelling salts out. But the question is worth asking.

I will if you do not ban me for "Trolling"!

Ha ha!
Well you would be the first...

The reasonable in any other forum, is not reasonable to this witch.

Dealing with Morons

I would just say that we should all try to be more tolerant and understanding. I think we all behave like morons at one time or another (I am including myself in that).

Give the morons the benefit of the doubt, it may be you next.

i have just joined FM forums, wow its a busy little place with lots of posts every day.

I've been told that modern phone cameras can do anything a real camera can do, but better and more conveniently. To which I answer:

5D, ISO 400, 15 seconds, 2000mm, f/7.
