What I don't need.

[Dean Wilson]

As a "Serious Hobbyist Photographer" I still get complaints from strangers on my photos that, "You don't need an R5 for that." or "You don't need that RF L-series glass...".

What I really don't need is a strangers opinion on how to spend my money.

Go out and have fun...that's what is important.

OTOH there's the "wow this pic is amazing, your camera must be really good" -crowd.

and of course,

"That was a wonderful Dinner; you must have a terrific stove."

Exactly! That's the job of my wife.

None of us “need” an R whatever camera… but we like them and we can do what we want. Don’t like it, pound salt…

The more experience and practice I gain, I find I subscribe to the John Lennon “I am an artist, man. Give me a tuba, and I’ll get you something out of it.”

When someone pokes their nose in where it don't belong, I just give them a sweet smile and say "DILLIGAF."
Those who know what that means get mad and stomp off.
Those who don't know get that 'deer in headlights' look.
I can't decide which is more entertaining.

"Do I Look Like I Give A F**k?"

had to Google it.

My bad attitude from trying to learn the single life after 35 years of marriage.
Been 14 years now, but I think I'm getting it figured out.
One of my goto spots when I get fed up with people -

• Canon EOS R7
• RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM
• 70.0 mm
• ƒ/5
• 1/200 sec
• ISO 100
