How about them polarizers, huh?

108. People that forget/ignore original topic and goes on about something completely different.

109. "My way of doing things is the best way and yours is inferior--but I'm not putting you down!"

Don't get me wrong, I like nice gear. I definately take better pics on nicer gear, which I think means I am the weakest link in the chain. But I have my gear and I'm happy with it. I trust somebody else out enjoying their photography is happy with theirs.

That sorted, there are more interesting things to discuss with another photographer, especially if like me you are in locations for a specific shot, I'd rather tap the local knowledge is more important than discuss the banalities of how much somebody else likes kit that I'm not shooting with.

I'm with you on that sentiment. I for one do not seek anyone out on gear chat. I am however approached very frequently, usually the person is VERY EXCITED and is either new to the craft or ready to upgrade and usually to something I have. The 5D3 and the 1DX can get some folks (read:noobs) doing mental camera masturbation upon sight. Same for white glass.

110. People who forget that they were once "noobs".
111. People who forget that striking up a conversation about anything "banal" {Lovely weather, isn't it?}- is an attempt to form a connection, however fleeting, with another human being.

And let me add on 110a: People who don't stop to consider that the photography noob might be an expert in a completely different field and might actually be a fascinating individual. (Lest I sound too preachy- learned that one the hard way myself... )

ROFL!

For those who only count in decimal, 10 binary is decimal 2...

Just wanted more people to appreciate the joke...

Ahh, if you have to explain a joke is it still funny? Personally I prefer my computer jokes in hexidecimal.

113. Long and rancorous arguments over the relative merit of equipment that is rumored to exist and nobody has seen, yet for some inexplicable reason, all the minute details are thought to be known.

It is a coded message. Go on, break it. Give the old grey matter a spin...

There are hex to string converters on the net...

And if you knew binary History you'd understand that I got your inside joke and knew about Mr. Leibnitz. Google is our friend.
