[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 weeks ago (4 children) the prices they charge and the inability to give me the damn RAWs is why I just got a camera instead. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] spudsrus@aussie.zone 9 points 1 week ago (1 child) Our wedding photographer gave us both RAWs and processed JPEGs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago Asked mine to give it to me RAW and it turned into a huge misunderstanding. permalink fedilink source parent [–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago Ohhhh this pisses me off soooooo much. I decided to do family photos and specifically asked for the raws before I went into the shoot. They still gave me a hard time after the shoot to get the raws. They gave me a stripped down .dng without any camera settings. Ohhhh that pisses me off so much. permalink fedilink source parent [–] hansolo@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago For the price of one shoot, you can buy someone's lightly used $5,000 kit on ebay. I've had a Canon I bought a decade ago that's still works great. Maybe got it for $250 or so IIRC. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 child) I found a guy willing to chuck me RAWs for a lower price, still felt a bit ripped off. He shot 90% of the day on a walkabout zoom and the photos were nothing special. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] chewypoops@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (4 children) The audacity to ask for the raw, unprocessed photos for a lower price, and then complain that they look boring. You wanted the raws. Process them yourself. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 1 point 6 days ago* They were boring because of the lens choice and lack of effort/skill of the photographer. Processing isn't going to do anything to change that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago Processing won’t do shit to a shitty shot, with terrible composition and lighting. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jtotheb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) I mean this comment makes total sense if we pretend that all photos are equally valuable and that the color balance is the only issue but not if we actually address the part where the photographer ostensibly took a bunch of poorly framed candids and failed to capture the energy of the moment Oops, sorry, I forgot you already decided that the photographer must have been the good guy so that means I’m wrong permalink fedilink source parent [–] kamen@lemmy.world -2 points 1 week ago (1 child) The audacity to ask for the raw, unprocessed photos for a lower price, and then complain that they look boring. That has the same energy as going to a restaurant and asking for the raw ingredients. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 days ago The craft I'm paying for is in the taking of the photos, processing is subjective and isn't going to transform a shitty photo into a gorgeous one. Your restaurant comparison is shitty, it would only make sense if I was asking to just plate the food myself. permalink fedilink source parent
