The guys over at Digital Rev just put together a hilarious video of photographers confessing their embarrassing habits. Do you occasionally use P mode? Have you ever used a selfie stick? We all have our own secrets.
My confession is even more ridiculous than the ones covered in this video. I've only mentioned this a few times and it always shocks everyone I tell. I've been a professional wedding photographer for 10 years now and every single image on my website was shot in JPEG. I also haven't updated my website in about six years... I should probably do something about that.
What's your confession as a photographer?
Even after being taught over and over again, I still cannot use the pen tool in Photoshop
I found the pen tool easier to use in Illustrator rather than Photoshop. I haven't used the pen tool in a decade. I know the feeling, Patrick
The struggle is real.
Talking about photoshop. I've been using it for almost 20 years and I'm still not able to predict how the blending mode will affect a layer. I just know that dissolve is the ugliest of all.
lol truth
Pen tool gives me a nervous tick, it's like trying to wrangle a cobra having a tantrum.
Another confession : The biggest reason I am shooting with a 5D MK III is because it feels good in my hands : )
Agreed!
I may be rude at people in the field of view holding up a mobile phone or worse: a tablet.
I've owned a wacom tablet for about a year now and never even plugged it into my computer; I still edit in lightroom with the laptop trackpad.
I also own a bunch of xbox controllers and haven't started to use them for culling despite reading many articles about how to implement it.
Hope to see your gear soon on ebay :)
No I'll get around to learning them one day :-)
I have secret sarcastic answers for those people who wander over to me and ask "are you taking lots of nice photos?". Weddings, events, vacations etc, the sight of a camera brings out this question from someone somewhere. Always.
Do you got a secret sarcastic answer also for the classic "Which camera did you use?"
How about one for the comment "your camera sure takes good pictures".
When I'm alone, with headphones on and editing, I'm sometimes this guy:

Okay, here's my confessions:
I miss Alambi!
Yes, I use Auto ISO on my 5D. However, I have to use manual ISO on my A-1 and F-1N depending on the film speed; sometimes, I forget to change the ISO when changing film.
I also use P mode on my A-1 and 5D. But on my F-1N, I have to choose Av, Tv, or M; right now, I have the motor drive off my F-1N, so it's Av or M, but I mostly use the match needle system for manual.
With my 5D, I use Auto White Balance indoors, if I remember to change it from Daylight.
On my 5D, I frequently forget to change my exposure compensation; but all I have to do with my F-1N or A-1, is look at the top of the camera by the ISO dail.
But I don't do "that" looking at the "red dot"!
