Quick rant. Yesterday while photographing a guy turned up on location next to me shooting with a canon 5DSR and a canon 11-24 in AUTO mode. Yes. And not only that he was shooting landscapes wide open at f4 at sunrise when I told him to stop his aperture 'down' to increase his depth of field. And thirdly he didn't even compose his image. Just quickly placed camera on tripod and click. No foreground subject etc. with ultra wides you need something close, very close and a nice backdrop too as it's all about perspective and not just fitting everything into frame. I spoke to him (and of course checked out his camera and his settings) and he just loved talking specs. Gear junkie. Nothing else. Pissed me off. Lol The thing that pissed me off the most was I was there on location very early to compose and then await the right light, timing the start of the very Long exposure to capture the sun just as it creeped up over the horizon towards the end of the exposure. He asked me if I could move my camera so he can take a quick photo where I had set up. My response was simply No. Well.... Rant over.
