    Because it really bothers me, seeing the guys that come in here posting the pics they thought up, then executed, then edited and posted in this forum, and they gain a little sense of pride knowing the work, however shitty, or great it may be, that they accomplished, then to hear them say "...but by no means am i a photographer" based on what other "pro photographers" have said on this forum. WTF? Did you see an image in your head, then use your camera to take it and plot that image onto your computer screen or on a piece of paper? By all means, thats a photographer.

    Damn hotshot, get a little butt hurt there? And by all means you have some names, name them cause I don't know anybody on here who claims to be "pro", maybe "semi-pro."


    And for the record, 90% of the photos posted on here were not thought up and executed but rather shot on the fly. There is a ton more to a photo than just snapping it which is why most say "I am by no means a photographer". As for the constructive feedback, get on a real photography site and get the feedback. I only know a couple photogs on here (not me as I do not shoot cars unless a model is involved) that could give feedback that would help and they won't do it. The few times they did they got slammed for it or the OP didn't want to hear it.

    There's a lot of jargon involved with photography that most people don't understand. The term professional is extremely skewed as it does not reflect skill. I own DSLR, but I would never take the burden of the main photographer at whatever event I attend, nor do I charge. I am a hobbyist, nothing more.


    Although one picture I took was on the cover of a well-known company's monthly newsletter.
