An ongoing trend on steemit seems to be to post a single photo with nothing else with it but some photo geek tech specs. Typically this will be something along the lines of Canon SX666, 66mm, F6.
Clearly, for some people, this information is so overwhelmingly gripping that things like location, date, photographer, or what on earth the photo is actually of, can all be dispensed with. Really if you know what the lens and aperture is, what else do you need to know?
Following this minimalist style of describing things, women would be “Jane 36/28/34” and men would be “John $54,000 PA”. And when watching the Tour de France, a stage winner would be “Fabio, DuraAce 50x11T”. One of my favourite photographers on Steemit, once said “photography is not about the camera, it’s a state of mind”. I’m sure that is one of the reasons why he always takes absolutely amazing photos.
For anyone who wants to find out about camera gear, I highly recommend the site: https://www.dpreview.com/ - where you can read about camera gear (and see really in depth camera reviews) until the cows come home.
For me the two most important things in a camera are that it is a Canon, so I know where the controls are, and that it is small enough to fit in my pocket so its there when I need it.
All modern cameras tend to be pretty high spec and can take photos that are high res enough to do things with. Two of my favourite photo editing tools are the android app Snapseed, and Adobe Photoshop- either Photoshop 7 (2003) or CS 7 (2014).
And now for a possible new trend in photo descriptions - random photo details
Sitting on toilet, having a dump, cool toilet roll holder, bog paper running low
Holy crap our blender has just caught fire - photo taken while freaking out on back path
And what else would anyone possibly want to know about a photo? If it’s true that a picture says 1000 words then words are redundant anyway, so we could all just post a photo of our camera under our feature photo.
