shitphotojournalistslike:

Photojournalists love to shoot with their sexy fast prime lenses, wide open at f/1.2 or f/1.4. What, you think I’m going to spend that kind of cash and then just go all “f/8 and be there?” Fuck no. My lens says f/1.2 on the barrel and that’s where it stays. Locked down, baby. 

All the best portraits are shot wide-open. That way you get to flip through hundreds of identical pictures in Photo Mechanic looking for the one image that has one eye mostly in focus.  The other eye is soft, the rest of the face is fuzzy, and the background is an amorphous blob of light and shadow, but I nailed the focus! Love that AF system, totally rocks. Give me a second, I need to delete the other 299 images. 

had to dig for this one hahah

pretty harsh, but ultimately it makes a good point, well sarcastically lmao
