Photography can cause undue stress and madness

Here's a funny video clip by two photographers in Colombia, South America. Taking a jab at some of the gearheads who troll Digital Photography Review's forums, one of them portrayed a delirious photographer who is crazy about aligning his lens just because "the professionals on DPreview said so." He also spent two days looking for a dead pixel in his camera and has deleted his entire catalog of photos because of that.

Do note that this is just a parody done by the duo to poke fun at shutterbugs who are crazy about their photo equipment, so don't take it too seriously. Remember, the camera is just a tool to help you capture an image.

I couldn't stop laughing. The video just about covers it. Image makers shoot. Gearheads fuss.

Hey your camera it has a light leak on the #4 and your flash is out of sync too! You Have to Reinstall the Camera softwzare. Program A has a light pixel shortage. and you need program B then run program A again while standing on your head!
