Got yelled at again for posting a photo description that included fancy camera gear while failing to performatively disclaim the fact that you can make good photos with cheaper gear.

Yes, OF COURSE THAT’S TRUE. But I’m captioning my work, not writing a complete tutorial on photography. Sorry if my use of fancy tools offends you, but I think it’s helpful to know how an image was created.
