What Kind of Photographer Are You?

Are there any prizes?

18, I was expecting to get a lot higher score. I guess taking photos of hundreds of people at conventions helped.

How is not knowing about the histogram a good thing? What a joke...

That question about a histogram is strange. Why penalized because I know how to use one. Okay, I picked B anyway because I didn't like the cocky attitude of answer C, but come on...

And what's your answer when your best shot of the week is of people by a gas station standing in front of a wall?

I got a 14, but I also had to look up Trent Parke. Once I did, I decided I think he's awesome!

I could have answered differently on several questions so I'm probably really a 13-17 depending on mood, setting, and what I've been shooting lately.

I don't think knowing how to read a histogram should be penalized, but I do think always relying on the histogram to judge "goodness" should be.

I barely made it to 13 with no cheating. Good thing I have a day job (knock on wood).

Low scores are good...

Do I have to be a particular "type?" Because sometimes I'm one type, others I'm another type. Depends on the situation, setting, job, whathave you.

Oh, you're that type.
