When I began to use a dSLR, I was hanging out on a computer forum with a section dedicated to photography. There was a few Pro hanging there, the kind who studied photography and couldn't bare to see amateurs using cameras, the kind who shut you down each time you post something they deem crap (About everything which wasn't posted by them). Needless to say that it was a destructive environment, I stopped to share my pictures and it took me a few years to start doing it again. I eventually realized that my pictures didn't need to be contest material, they didn't need to be perfect, they just needed to please me even if only a little. This (and not paying attention to elitist shenanigans) helped to get confidence and to improve.
Ps: I hope this fall within the scope of this thread?
It is very important to remember if you have a camera that lets you machine gun photographs then you must be an expert photographer.
Here is an easier solution. Look at DPreview and determine what is the most popular technique/workflow/brand/zoom focal range/software amongst the "photographers" (frauds) who post there. Then do exactly the opposite.The Dunning Kruger Effect or the Imposter Syndrome?
But I wonder if I smeared lemon juice on my face, I'd be a better photographer?
ELX, ELX, ELX...It is very important to remember if you have a camera that lets you machine gun photographs then you must be an expert photographer.

I recall my Zone system instructor in 1981 sneering at motor drives. He used to say, "pick a moment and press the shutter." From that class evolved into a hirable printer in Pro studios. As I moved on to shoot corporate headshots I used an MD11 on my FM and later, my Hass 500 EL for the convenience of film advance without moving my eye from the camera. It increased engagement with my subject and improved flow. Same now with digital and I hardly see that asa a the shotgun approach suggested by many.It is very important to remember if you have a camera that lets you machine gun photographs then you must be an expert photographer.
Imposter syndrome is someone knows so much about something that they know enough that they think they don't know enough to be an expert. Dunning Kruger is the opposite. You see those dumbshit experts that don't know enough to know that they don't know that much.Never heard of the Imposter Syndrome. I've been impersonating being a human for many years now w/ some small success. Sometimes even I'm convinced!

I really don't know anything. I'm a non-expert. I just cope with reality as it comes to me.I'm not sure I know, that you know, that I will know how to know how to understand that statement. Ya know?
The dunning kruger effect is not the thing you really think it is.
Its merely a side shoot of the liberalistic methodology of participation trophies for everything.
You resurrected a thread that's been moribund for three years to say that? I think Dunning and Kruger are quite qualified to define the Dunning Kruger effect, but thanks for entertaining us by demonstrating the effect in real-time. We couldn't ask for more.

Interesting vid. I dont identify with either, my technical ability has pretty much plateaued to a very gradual incline ( i dont have great technical ability), my creativity goes up and down like a roller coaster. I do agree that you should constantly challenge your perceptions and abilities, get out of your comfort zone.
dunning and kruger CAN be considered the epitomes of their theory. They have no actual scientific ability, thus they create a theory and publish it. And because that whole genre of so called research is nothing more then parroting what has been published in an article online.... they become considered genius by those who have even less skill then them.
