Brad, scroll down for various definitions. Hipster can mean different things to different people just like any other term, Photographer for instance.

Can someone please supply a working definition of ‘hipster’?
ROFLDoing landscape with C220 on tripod. A group passing by is attracted by the TLR (I understand that the TLR form is popular with onlookers). Asks couple questions. I invite them to look into the WLF.
"Oooh it's in color!"
Crazy story. Remind me of a situation I had here in Munich. I will not give details about the exact location nor the persons involved.This reminds me of a situation from about 3 years ago. I was taking a Photography 101 class as part of my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and the assignment was motion and blur. It's important to note that I'm in my mid- to late-60s. I walked to the end of my street and decided to take long exposure and panning shots of cars going by on their way to work. I am there doing my thing with a Minolta SRT-101 on my Linhoff tripod and my Luna Pro Six3 meter hanging from the handle. I have my notebook and am recording the exposure settings for each shot. The next thing I know I have a police officer in my face demanding to know what I am doing. I tell him I am working on an assignment for an art class I am taking at the university. He doubts that and wants to know what I am really doing and what is this equipment. I thought he was joking but he wasn't so I just said it's a film camera on a tripod and that other thing is my light meter. He says something about me not telling the truth and, again, demands to know what I am up to. I take a deep breath and hand him the assignment sheet from my notebook and suggested that he call the professor at the number on it. He glances at it and hands it back and still wants to know what this equipment is. I didn't know what else to tell him and asked that if I was standing here doing the same thing with a phone if that would be suspicious and he said "No." We stood there sort of staring at each other for a moment and them he leaves. It's a good thing he didn't ask for ID since I had none with me.
Hipsters (and everyone under the age of 40) nowadays say "analog". "Film" is dead - at least as a word in the dictionaryI'm getting asked "is it a film camera", even if it is not. I think, young ones look at older people with cameras as film users...
Especially since “digital capture” is fundamentally just as analog as film.Hipsters (and everyone under the age of 40) nowadays say "analog". "Film" is dead - at least as a word in the dictionary
As an EE by profession, I hate that word "analog" to describe film!

That wildly over used and misapplied "shot". I've even seen people call exposed rolls of film "shot film" .... which is stupid beyond belief.
I've heard 'shot' my entire life. What's wrong with that? Admittedly, the shot is going the other way, and in the end the light is hitting the film. But, in that respect, the film has actually been 'shot', as opposed to expended.

I must confess that I often use the word “shoot” just because I know it goads some. I shouldn’t be that way, but some people go overboard with policing the way others talk, so I have a hard time resisting. It makes me chuckle when someone says “making a photograph,” but I would never deride them for that. There’s nothing really wrong with them describing it the way they want.Yes, It used to be that we occasionally used shot as a metaphor for photograph but we had many other words as well, expose, use, photograph, make pictures, take pictures, etc...now it seems all these words and phrases have been replaced by "shot'. There is no other word anymore and to make matters even more nauseatingly insipid, we also hear/read such nonsense as "shot film" meaning exposed film - brain dead. The vocabulary of digital imaging has inundated and often displaced wholesale the vocabulary of photography and the result is that the vocabulary of photography has contracted and morphed.

I’ll have to work on not being so juvenile.
Well, no i=one is policing you for sure.Not policing anybody. Just expressing my opinion. Free...take it for what it is worth. Everybody is free to behave as limited a vocabulary as they wish.
What’s the topic of this thread?
Indeed. A grain of silver halide is digital (maybe not strictly speaking, but it can be in one of two discrete states), a sensor site is analog (AD conversion happens after detection). But I'd say sticking with the convention makes our lives easier.the photo-sensitive medium is definitely either analog or digital.
Yeah I know, better to write it as it should be: analogue.I hate that word "analog" to describe film!

Hi Brad, I just want to make sure you didn’t think I was talking about you. Like I said, I am the one who is being childish in the scenarios I mentioned. I enjoy your posts and did not mean to offend.Not policing anybody. Just expressing my opinion. Free...take it for what it is worth. Everybody is free to behave and use as limited a vocabulary as they wish.
I admit, I tend to use "shoot" as a synonym for "exposing". When someone says they're "making a photograph", I consider that the whole process-- composing, exposing, developing and printing. I also don't care about analog vs. digital as terms-- again, everyone knows what you mean, and the photo-sensitive medium is definitely either analog or digital.
But to veer back towards the topic, I've never shot a hipster. I did once consider shooting a coffee barista who sneered at my order.
Hasselblads. What else?What’s the topic of this thread?
I've heard photo shoot my whole life. I also use the word shoot.
As for the barista, did you order your coffee black?
