Just need to let off a bit of steam here...

I'm getting a bit tired of all these 'photographers' that claim they are 'professional' charging top $$$ for photography sessions, only to offer really, really bad photos.

A few of my friends in the past few weeks have been ripped off by these types of photographers, you know, they people who think they are top shot but really aren't.
Ive seen the quality of these photographs, and there are shadows and blurs and bad lighting and everything you dont want in a professional photograph. I feel so sorry that my friends were ripped off by these people, and im not talking $50, im talking in excess of $400 or so dollars for wedding photos, pregnancy photos and such.

Why do these people put this price tag and profession tag on themselves when they really aren't that good?!
I mean Im no professional, DF is though, and I can tell just by looking at a photo if its top quality or not. You dont want photos of a newborn baby with a adults foot in the background and such, or shadows from the camera flash, or even a blurry wedding photo.

Is it just me?
