@cengland0 I like food photos! As a cook or someone who may eat at the same restaurant. I’d rather see what you eat every day than a selfie of you with your tongue out every day.
@cengland0 Additionally, I think there may be a talent to making food pictures look good. I often see people sharing pictures from restaurants that I know have great food and thinking, “Ugh, that doesn’t look so appetizing.”
@awk I can’t tell you how many PRINTED photos I’m going to inherit because for some reason my dad has to take photos of deceased people in their caskets. It’s so freaking weird and he’s been doing it for 70 years.
@heartny
And actually, your eye sees the surface details on the moon, which that camera didn’t. (Some more recent units have smart features to make the result look more like what an eye sees, but still…)
It was an overcast day in Florida but I got a partial eclipse with my phone by putting a welding mask filter in front of my phone lens. I like how the low tech method worked out.
@cengland0 Well, my wife had never seen one before and right up to the time I was putting lawn chairs in the driveway she was like “what’s the big deal? This is stupid.”
We sat down with our eclipse glasses and watched the shadows take on weird patterns and the birds get quiet and fly someplace to roost. Then when the moment came and we could take off our glasses and look directly at the eclipse, she suddenly became very emotional and exclaimed “It’s a miracle” and started to cry. Then she pulled out her phone to try and take a picture and I said we could download better pictures later. She put it away and we enjoyed the next couple of minutes and have talked about it many times since. We are even thinking of going to Texas to see the next one.
So, that’s why I say a phone picture of an eclipse is not necessary.
@cengland0@mike808 Your camera is much better than either of ours. But like you say, I’m in it mainly for the experience.
A buddy at work went to the top of a local peak and got a spectacular high res image with his telescope and digital SLR. I may hit him up for a copy sometime.
@cengland0@Lynnerizer@tweezak At least he had a local peak to work with. It’s a full day’s drive from here to anything that would aspire to being a real “peak”. Of course, this is still not as flat as where I grew up. (Miami.)
@cengland0@Lynnerizer@werehatrack It’s the highest peak in Oregon’s coast range. There’s a big parking lot near the top where there are no lights at all. Local hobbyists hold star parties up there pretty often.
@andyw
Agreed, but really, that wasn’t a thing “back in the day” when they were doing [Rolling Thunder Review][1] and they were both on stage together!
And YES, the Fort Collins date was AMAZING!
@andyw
I agree about about both. I have taken many concert photos and end up deleting them the next day bc they never look good. Unless I’m right up in front (which is never going to happen) I’m done taking them.
@chienfou Thanks for the video. I was at the Pittsfield (MA) Boys Club Joan Baez concert in 1963 (August 14-I just looked it up via expectingrain.com). My mother, who taught folk guitar locally got tickets for me and a friend. Halfway through Ms. Baez said she had a friend she wanted to introduce and some of the people in this small venue were not happy as they wanted to hear Joan. Dylan sang several songs, real classics now, Only A Pawn In Their Game, Blowin’ In The Wind and A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall according to another site. Obviously none of us had cameras and probably would have been embarrassed to use them.
Oh…and bike race selfies. People get as close to the racers as they can and then turn their back to them so they can get a cool selfie…and if they’re lucky cause a massive crash and some career ending injuries.
@mbersiam I think that goes for all racing doesn’t it?
When I did bicycle time trials and mountain bike races I really did it for the fun of it. Piling in a van with your friends, getting completely gassed at the race and then gorging on food on the way home made for great memories. 100+ mile training rides on the weekends with the same people was always great.
And we always moved over to the edge of the pavement for cars. I had a mirror and could call it out.
@Lynnerizer A couple years ago the Tour de France started in England. The people were incredibly rude. The road was crammed down to almost nothing and literally nobody was looking at the racers. Everybody was taking a selfie with their backs turned as if to say “I am ignoring you.” The riders on the edge actually bumping people started slapping phones out of their hands. I think the next day officials put barriers along the entire race route.
@Lynnerizer@tweezak I actually saw the Tour go through a small French village ages ago, before it was televised over here or anything. We didn’t even know it was coming. But if you’re not in a spot where they have to slow down, all you see is a bunch of bright blurs whiz by, so it wasn’t too exciting. And then we managed to be in Paris the final day, but the crowds were so deep that you couldn’t see anything there either, if you hadn’t gotten there before dawn!
@Kyeh@tweezak
That’s cool! I gave up a trip to Paris when I was in my 20’s. When my mom asked me to go (all expenses paid) I already had plans to go to Disney World in Florida with my boyfriend. It was about the 20ith time I’d been to Disney, what a fool I was!
Animal pics are hard with a phone. I use my SLR for them and you can spend hours and hundreds of attempts just to get one good shot. Try taking this photo with your phone.
As a Verified Adult Curmudgeon™ I’d like to petition people to stop using the selfie cam to take taking sweeping landscape vistas with their face in it. “What would make this pic of the Grand Canyon better? Why ME, of course!”
@brianbrianbrian There are so many great photos of the grand canyon though… the only thing that makes one unique photo is the person in it. I hate landscape photos by themselves. they’re usually crappy res, the lighting isn’t right, etc. Buy a postcard with a professional photo and get some of your own memories in the making.
@brianbrianbrian@mbersiam
Speak for yourself. My scenic photos don’t have people in them most of the time, unless there’s a good reason to include someone. And I’ve had a number of them get appropriated for use as wallpaper. I’ve got a standing order for a canvas print of one at the moment.
Of course, almost none of them were shot with a phone cam.
@brianbrianbrian@werehatrack yeah it’s more the cell phone or old 35mm vacation ones that aren’t art that I’m talking about. The number of landscape photos I’ve seen and asked “oh where was this?” and no one can remember where or when they took the photo is just silly, IMO. The last place I worked our security guy was a professional landscape/nature photographer and his work is PHENOMENAL.
@brianbrianbrian@mbersiam
I was looking at the framed prints from a local photog who gets around, and I was able to fill in the blanks on some of the details he hadn’t been aware of in his images. Like the fact that the ghost town building with I.O.O.F. on the front was an International Order of Odd Fellows hall. (The organization still exists.) And then he pulled out one that he thought might stump me (which is easy, honestly, I’m not that well traveled) and I glanced at it and said “Black Canyon of the Gunnison, toward the western end of the scenic drive on the south side of the canyon.” (It’s an interesting place, but gets very few visitors.)
@Kyeh@mbersiam@werehatrack My main issue is crummy, poorly framed selfies taken with the crappier selfie camera. It feels like an afterthought… like checking something off the list, because if it isn’t posted online it wasn’t worth doing in the first place. I certainly don’t begrudge anyone taking a pic of themselves or their group using a tripod or having someone else take it (often easier said than done, especially if you’re in a solitary place). Anyways, I also just love landscape photography. When I was a kid, I hiked a good chunk of Philmont backcountry in NM and when I got back home my Mom was annoyed that I took too many landscape photos without people in them… @mbersiam - your former coworker is an amazing photographer! Just wow!
@brianbrianbrian@mbersiam@werehatrack
Agrre on all counts; also, I hate it when tourists actually damage the beautiful places or monuments by trying to get really spectacular shots of themselves in those places.
@brianbrianbrian@mbersiam@sillyheathen@werehatrack I hate the whole “influencer” culture, which has made people turn every experience into a staged event; I even hate the word “influencer.”
True influencers are people doing something for its own sake, and their influence is incidental, not the main reason for doing it.
When those selfie seekers accidentally kill themselves in the pursuit of “likes” it really seems like they’ve won the Darwin Award…
@brianbrianbrian@Kyeh@mbersiam@werehatrack It was an extremely draining part of living and working in Yosemite. We called them “tourons”. “When are you going to turn the waterfalls back on?” “What time are the animal feedings?” “How much does it cost to feed the animals each year?” “What landscaping company do you use for your boulders?” And then there are the folks that feed the wildlife.
Once had a guy throw his super expensive bike at my truck. A bunch of us had gone swimming in the river just outside the park and on our way back, traffic was jammed at a strange part of the loop. We stopped and got out to find a massive group of tourons trying to get photos with a black bear by throwing it cliff bars etc. we saw that the bear had a collar which meant it had already had two human encounters and it’s next trip was to euthanasia town. So we started clapping and hollering and chased it into the woods.
Cue mob mentality of we’re evil assholes that just ruined their vacations because they didn’t get pictures with the bear. Who gives a shit that their photo was going to cost him his life? They started yelling and throwing the god damned cliff bars at us. So we jumped in my truck and went around the group. One dude was so enraged, he yelled and threw his super fancy road bike at the truck as we drove away. I can only imagine if it had been now. I’m sure we would’ve been on some viral video.
I take pictures of my food and add it to the listing for the restaurant in Google Maps and Yelp because I know how to take a good picture and want to help the business show their food to potential customers.
Most of the photos of food that people upload for restaurant listings look like it was shot from a spy plane at 50,000 feet. I do not take pictures of food for my social media channels or for sharing beyond Google Maps and Yelp.
@kittykat9180 I do this all the time but of my own food. I used to cook professionally and I can’t help myself. I’m still compelled to plate like I work in a fine dining kitchen. I’m also creating a cookbook this year as a gift to my family for Christmas so it helps to go back and reference recipes I want to include or ones that may need to actually be written/tested or improved.
I have to admit, I am both annoyed at people in front of me blocking my view of a concert with their cell phone camera, but guilty of watching a clip or two on Youtube from a show I may have missed.
I think a few photos and perhaps a video of one complete song are understandable, but recording an extended period of time is excessive.
One of the most unfortunate fallouts from the rise of the digital camera is the sheer volume of shit that gets photographed (99% of it poorly). Back in ‘the old days’ when you had to pay for film, shoot 24-36 pics then pay to have them developed and printed, processes that took days (then towards the end, only hours or overnight) you were much more likely to consider things like subject matter, framing, depth of field, backlighting etc. to achieve at least passable results. And if they sucked, you only had a few hundred to dispose of rather than 20,000 to scroll thru to find that cute pic of your nephew – who I will never meet and don’t really give-a-damn about…

Stop taking photos of your food. Don’t you realize we all eat food and don’t care what you had for dinner?
@cengland0 I came here to say this.
@cengland0 Agree, pics of your food are stupid
@cengland0 I like food photos! As a cook or someone who may eat at the same restaurant. I’d rather see what you eat every day than a selfie of you with your tongue out every day.
@cengland0 Additionally, I think there may be a talent to making food pictures look good. I often see people sharing pictures from restaurants that I know have great food and thinking, “Ugh, that doesn’t look so appetizing.”
@cengland0, while I think good photos are stupid, I would rather see those than duck lip selfies. Why do people still do duck lips?
@cengland0 especially if the photo taker has already started digging in
@callow @cengland0 I feel like food pics are good every once in a while for a special or unique meal.
@cengland0 @kittykat9180 I agree. They look like idiots
Portrait.
UDP.
We all know what one looks like, and absolutely no one is going to be impressed.
@werehatrack because TCP is better?
@cengland0
Unsolicited … Pic
@werehatrack And like shots of the moon, phone cameras make everything look smaller.
@cengland0 @werehatrack Sure - TCP is connection-oriented with guaranteed delivery.
@macromeh
While UDP just shows up unbidden, and often very much unwanted.
Endless tourist selfies.
Inappropriate selfies.
@awk
And then caption it “I told you she was sick.” Or maybe “Now pay up.”
@awk I can’t tell you how many PRINTED photos I’m going to inherit because for some reason my dad has to take photos of deceased people in their caskets. It’s so freaking weird and he’s been doing it for 70 years.
@awk There’s something missing in someone’s brain when they decide this was a good idea. I hope the parent’s feel a sufficient amount of shame.
@heartny
And actually, your eye sees the surface details on the moon, which that camera didn’t. (Some more recent units have smart features to make the result look more like what an eye sees, but still…)
My wife wanted to take a picture of the recent solar eclipse. Absolute waste of an epic moment just to get a dot on the screen.
@tweezak
It was an overcast day in Florida but I got a partial eclipse with my phone by putting a welding mask filter in front of my phone lens. I like how the low tech method worked out.
@cengland0 Well, my wife had never seen one before and right up to the time I was putting lawn chairs in the driveway she was like “what’s the big deal? This is stupid.”

So, that’s why I say a phone picture of an eclipse is not necessary.
@cengland0 @tweezak I got this one from my phone back in 2017. I agree that a photo just doesn’t compare to experiencing it.

Moon and concert photos are pretty useless-unless it is a selfie on the stage with Bob Dylan or Joan Baez-just before you get arrested.

@tweezak
What a blast that must have been, not the rude people of course but just the whole experience. Just wow!
@Lynnerizer Oh, I wasn’t there but I was watching it happen live on TV. People suck.
I would love to watch the TdF in person.
@Lynnerizer @tweezak I actually saw the Tour go through a small French village ages ago, before it was televised over here or anything. We didn’t even know it was coming.

@Lynnerizer @tweezak
Awww, that IS a shame!
Cat videos
@hchavers No way!
@hchavers
Cat people are required to have cat videos on their phones.
@hchavers @werehatrack I think that’s actually in the Webster’s definition of a cat person.
/giphy beaver
@shahnm Pottery!
Their feet! Gross! Why?!
@mc2d2000
Feet are absolutely freakin disgusting! 
Couldn’t agree more!
@mc2d2000 Some people reallllllly like feet… IF you know what I mean.
Pics of their kids every other second.
Eh, the way some kids are, you need 10-20 shots to get one good one.
@Salanth I get that, animals too
@Salanth @SEGAStaRBiTS64
Animal pics are hard with a phone. I use my SLR for them and you can spend hours and hundreds of attempts just to get one good shot. Try taking this photo with your phone.
@cengland0
That’s gorgeous!
@cengland0 @Salanth Oh yeah, birds no way. Not with my potato phone. I’ll wait for a better camera to take pictures like that.
@cengland0 @Salanth @SEGAStaRBiTS64 Very nice!!
ALL of them! WAY TMI out there!
People?
What about when your cat keeps stealing the phone?
@lonocat
That’s better than most selfies!
@lonocat
That’s freaking awesome!
FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!
@lonocat That looks like a cool cat. I should invite him over for beer and catnip.
@lonocat “I don’t often roll in catnip, but when I do…”

I only do it to document something bad.
@kittykat9180 I do this all the time but of my own food. I used to cook professionally and I can’t help myself. I’m still compelled to plate like I work in a fine dining kitchen.

@tomvarela Tell that to all those teens on Instagram.
One of the most unfortunate fallouts from the rise of the digital camera is the sheer volume of shit that gets photographed (99% of it poorly). Back in ‘the old days’ when you had to pay for film, shoot 24-36 pics then pay to have them developed and printed, processes that took days (then towards the end, only hours or overnight) you were much more likely to consider things like subject matter, framing, depth of field, backlighting etc. to achieve at least passable results. And if they sucked, you only had a few hundred to dispose of rather than 20,000 to scroll thru to find that cute pic of your nephew – who I will never meet and don’t really give-a-damn about…
@chienfou
Back around 2013, I gave my S.O. a Fuji pocket digital cam, which elicited a “What the hell am I supposed to do with this?” response. A bit over a year and a half later, she stepped up a bit to a Canon ELPH110S. Her Flickr has thousands of images posted, mostly of costumes seen at conventions.
@chienfou The same can be said of the internet and self-imagined “journalists”. Failing that, many transition into self-imagined “influencers”.
@werehatrack @mike808
Not sure I made the connection?
@chienfou
@mike808
Thanks. I was not following your train of thought at all!
I recall when the iPad first came out, all the pretentious parents at fencing tournaments couldn’t help but show off their obvious superiority by blocking everyone else’s view of the bouts by holding their giant cameras where everyone else could admire them. Turds
