10 signs that you are not a photographer but a DSLR operator


1) Most of your pictures are clicked around your house and they feature pigeons sitting on cables, stray dogs sleeping on road and squirrels on trees.

      2) Most of your pictures have such high contrasts that they actually hurt.

      3) You have just learnt selective coloring/selective saturation and do not hesitate to show off your editing skills at all, it is all over your photos.

      4) You give philosophical names to your pictures ‘life goes on’, ‘life is struggle’ and the all time chart-buster ‘reflections of life’

      5) You just can’t get the horizon straight, well ofcourse you are different and a follower of Steve Jobs

       6) You love standing in front of the mirror with your eyes set in viewfinder and clicking your super hot profile picture

       7) Depth of Field/bokeh is the biggest kick in your life. You have already posted several key-board pictures (both Mac and PC) with one key in focus and rest blurred, and needless to say they are some of your best pictures.

      8) You learnt how to watermark pictures and how to run your own Facebook photography page before you knew the difference between a crop-censor and full-format camera

       9) When you see someone’s picture on Facebook, and it is slightly better than yours (which can’t happen a lot ofcourse) … you quickly ask for EXIF data. More often than not that picture will be clicked from a better gear than yours, so there isn’t much you can do about it.

      10) You are the best photographer you know!
