I was at a dinner yesterday night, and one of my father's friends saw my D40 and we talked about cameras. I asked him what camera he had. He told me a D90. So I thought this guy was another DSLR enthusiast. I then asked him what lenses he had. He said 105 and the 300. I was thinking, wait, 105 micro and 300 2.8...? And then I asked him how fast were they- he said I dunno 2.8 or 3.5. Then it clicked- this guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. He probably has the 18-105 and the 70-300. The most glaring thing- he asked me about megapixels on the D40. That blew my top. He said oh, that's not all that much right? And then when my dad wanted a snapshot of all his friends together, I popped the flash on it. He then commented, oh, it's a 1.8, you shouldn't need the flash. Yeah, if you want the razor thin depth of field to only focus on one person in a group of about 10 people. That really really annoyed the crap out of me. If you don't know anything about photography, do not question me!!! It was a dim restaurant, how else would I have gotten the shot?
Jeez, if you leave it on auto most of the time anyway, should you really be questioning me?
*Rant Over!*
Anyone else have any funny stories, etc. about people who don't know what the heck they're talking about?
