It didn't take me long to realize the gear people carry around doesn't mean shit
There was a guy at a local VW show with the latest and greatest the other weekend, his pics are overcooked HDR garbage. Just awful.

You'll quickly learn that a lot of "photographers" are pompous and egotistical. This is typically the case with older photographers who "remember the film days".
On that note, the 70-200 f/4 non-IS is still a great lens and you just did to her what she did to you with that comment. Gear means shit.

I have a lot of nice gear, and some days it makes me feel like a hack. Like I am almost not worthy of what I've bought. But I bought it not thinking it was the key to being a good photographer, rather as I get better, I wont need to re-buy focal lengths as I percieve my skills to justify better glass.
I do see improvement every time I go out and I think that is the most important thing, well that and still enjoying the process.
My post processing skills on the other hand, leave worlds to be desired so that will be my next investment.
Just keep shooting Duc...

Hearing protection FTW at events with other shooters. Probably one of the reasons I like landscapes at night.
I have both of those 70-200mm and the f/4L gets as many eat shit and die looks as the 2.8 II with a 2x extender. Or at least it did - been a while since I have given a Fuck.

When I'm wearing a media vest, I don't give a flying fuck whether I'm in a spectator's shot or not. One of us went through the trouble of acquiring the vest, and one did not. They can go fuck themselves if they see a problem with that.
Also FWIW, I don't stay in one place for more than a few minutes/laps, so I'm not "blocking" anyone for very long regardless.
