The m43 cope has reached new levels.

>>4442771
everyday snapshots really are the end game

>>4442771
the ultimate photo black pill

This is what winning looks like

>>4442783
>having fun
NOOOOO /p/ SAID YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE FUN WITH PHOTOGRAPHY

>>4442783
So basically >>4442771 but probably with more gearfagging

>>4442790
The fun police are biggest sour grapes faggots on the internet. Oh sorry I'm having so much fun in your stupid ugly loser face! Haha! Look look it's all of us having fun and you're in the corner looking miserable pretending you matter somehow. Weeeeeeeeeee! Your photography probably sucks too! We could help you get better, but you're too scared to even post a picture! Lol whatever. I'm going to continue having fun.

>>4442794
It's just your ego and attitude combined with your lack of talent and anti-micro four thirds propaganda

>>4442771
why would you go for mft if you arent snapshitting?

>>4442765 (OP)
>stop visiting photography forums
>posts useless blog on /pee/
What did op mean by this?

>>4442800
See
>>4442774

LMAO. Never seen a good picture in the m43 thread, big boy. I take it as a compliment that they don't like my work. Their "critiques" are truly embarassing.

The obsession is real and I'm enjoying every minute living rent free in the one or two m43 guys head. Now why don't you go on back to your little containment thread?

>have fun taking photos with m43 camera
>make nophoto fool framers on /p/ continue to seethe
*sips*
Ahhhhhhhh

>>4442800
You know the funny thing about the whole m43 stuff is that I didn't start it.

I made a silly joke because some m43 guy posted a picture of a slug, and I said just said lol a digislug. He got so incredibly mad at me and started calling me names and all this stuff. After that I realized everything was true about the m43 nerds and I would occasionally contribute with some light trolling.
Not even that much! The only difference between me and the hundreds of other people that talk shit on m43 is that I'm identifiable.
As is tradition with autistics they begin blaming ALL the trolling on me and huskyfag when in reality there's many many people that troll you guys.

The funny part is every time I look in an m43 thread theres one or two people talking shit about me and huskyfag. Making up stupid lies or whatever. Obsessed behavior and youre just begging to get trolled.

>>4442811
Sorry not reading your essay, im just not gonna!

>>4442813
That's fine. We all know 6 sentences is a lil too much for yah!

Any actual photographer I meet irl doesn't give a shit about gear outside of lenses that might give a certain look
But onlinefags, all they care about is charts and specs, yet have no photos

>m43 shitflinging thread #1089408509307492
Jannies really just need to ban or wordfilter everything relating to m43 at this point honestly.

>>4442816
This.

>>4442817
They cannot help themselves. They basically beg to be trolled. Its the lolcow format. I do not really understand why they need an m43 general when none of them even post pictures...

Ban all m43 threads and snoy schizos

>>4442824
This wasn't even supposed to be an m43 thread but then the m43 lolcows came in to be attention whores and ruin another thread. They have been doing it to so many harmless and completely unrelated threads lately.

>>4442771
It's funny how there's basically three types of photographers:
- photographers who actually like photography
- photographers who hate photography as a rule (you >4442771 are here)
- gearfags
Group 2 is interesting. I'm not totally sure they're separate from 3. The focus is on the act of photography rather than the end product.
I actively try to make myself group 1 as much as possible. I have a whole shelf of photo books from a variety of nature and landscape photographers that I like to flip through now and then. I feel like with the amount of saturation we're at with photos everywhere by everyone it's easy to become jaded but keeping yourself receptive to art is so important. I'm scared with AI it'll just get worse too.

>>4442829
I misread your post a little, sorry >>4442771
I agree digital photography has confusingly made photography worse despite making it easier. I still think there's plenty of genuine, good photography that's digital but it's harder to find compared to old books of film photos. I chaulk a lot of this up to barrier to entry.

>>4442829
>I'm scared with AI it'll just get worse too.
this is why film and self development is the way. maybe no one will believe it wasn't AI online, but no one can take the negatives out of your hands, knowhattamean?

>>4442800
All he had to do was not respond to this. What a retard.

>>4442833
Negatives will be safe, but I do not think prints will, sadly. It's already pretty easy to print out a digital negative and then print it on photographic paper.

>>4442840
The m43 lolcow milk is too sweet. I cannot help myself.

>>4442830
>filtered by digitalchads
You love to see it

>>4442833
I'm not nervous about proving authenticity, I'm nervous about desensitization to art and emotions (but they are related).

>>4442854
I don't understand this reply, have a frog.

>>4442856
Based yesphoto.

>>4442856
A lot of low IQs get filtered by digital photography, that and pseuds like IOE Greer lmao

>>4442813
"Didn't read" has always been a low-energy and cowardly way of dismissing a post, but with an added lie in an obvious attempt to appear superior. If you hadn't read it, you wouldn't know to dismiss it in the first place.

What are you so afraid of?

>>4442771
Using micro four thirds is the most self hating act in photography

I bought this piece of shit 20mp lolympus with a "leica" macro to scan my film backlog and substitute for my phone, but now I'm wondering if i made a mistake

fkn lol

>>4442975
Sir, you need to use the AI. It's the future. m4/3+AI > FF/money spent.

>>4442975
Actually micro four thirds is the best. Chris from dpreview loves his, and when he doesnt, he uses his full frame sony instead.

I wish i had somebody to show my photos.

>OP speaks of forgetting about "The Gear"
Thread involes:
>M43 white knights out in droves
>Snoyggers on alert
>Hatebaiters patroling
Many such cases. No really, those three things are basically any thread that isn't /rpt/ /dst/ /fgt/ or /cum/ lately. Admins need to make a new board called /mft/ for containment at this point.

>>4442998
You can show me your pics. :)

>>4442975

Excuse me?

You liar. Stop slandering mft by pretending your five megapixel fuji is one. Fucking size queens.

>>4443004
I changed the filenames as a joke. I bought this yesterday. There is no 5mp fuji.

And it has already glitched out. Woops!

Should have bought a sony, sucker.

>>4442975
My phone looks better than this, and your dog is very ugly and unhealthy looking. 2/10 do better.

>>4442975
Cute dog.

>>4442975
Ugly dog

>>4443115
>>4443098
That dog is definitely ugly, because it looks really unhealthy. This is what they're meant to look like. Micro four thirds user, animal abuser. typical.
