  I’ve got a nifty fifty which can open to 1.6, and that’s pretty good for getting as fast as 1/250th in dim light, and I got it for free! :D

  Catch is, the zoom controls are at the bottom, on my feet.

    you don’t zoom with your feet. that is how you change perspective, and it is not the same as zooming. serious hobby photographer should understand the difference.

      Lemme use my cute euphemisms.

      Alternatively: drat, you got me, I’m not a hobby photographer, I’m just a lesbian with a camera.

      Alternatively: drat, you got me, am I still approved by the board you’re on to take pictures of cool things, or should I turn my kit in?

        Alternative and deeply truly, in my bones: who the fuck are you? Let’s see some of your damn portfolio.

        i am someone pointing your attention to the fact that you don’t zoom with your feet. i assume you did not know that, because why would you say that otherwise, so now you know something you didn’t before and you can think about how to apply that knowledge to your pictures of cool things. i don’t really need to present my portfolio for that.

        And yes, I downvoted myself to save you the damn click,

        you seem to have forgotten to do that. what is the point of making such bizarre performative claim when you don’t even follow through?

        if simple comment sends you into such tailspin, maybe public discussion is not for you…

    Zooming with your feet (and switching primes) is part and parcel to events photography. If I see a zoom lens at a wedding I will judge the photographer.
