TIL that a retired wedding photographer's comment about my shutter button technique was spot on
Guy came into my shop dropping off a vintage Nikon and watched me test it. He said I was stabbing the button instead of rolling into it. Changed my whole hand position and my shots are way steadier now. Anybody else get a random tip from a customer that stuck with you?

Always nice when some random person drops actual knowledge like that. Had a guy at the gym tell me to stop jerking the barbell and start pulling it against my legs - totally fixed my deadlift form in one session. Old timers usually know their stuff, even if they come off a little grumpy sometimes.

Honestly I used to roll my eyes at unsolicited gym advice too, thought everyone was just trying to show off. But after a random guy at the climbing gym pointed out I was using way too much arms and not enough legs on my pulls, I totally changed my tune. Sometimes the grumpy old dudes really do have the golden nugget of wisdom you just didn't wanna hear.
