Tell-tale signs are constant boasting about how famous/talented/altruistic you are, and the continual proffering, as fact, of statements which are palpably absurd (eg: All pros use fill-flash all the time; RAW mode is useless; etc).

Here a good one: " Your equipment DOES NOT affect the quality of your image."

And another:

" I'm a photographer, not a camera reviewer. "

And yet another gem:

"Lens quality has nothing to do with the quality of the images that are produced with it."

And finally, that favourite old phrase of the snake oil salesman:

" I hope I help debunk some of the snake oil out there"


All these gems from just one page. As a comedy site, it's pretty good.
