粵語 — Cantonese

  1. 「沙龍友」嘅簡稱,亦即業餘攝影發燒友;以往指熱衷「打沙龍(藝術攝影)」嘅人,而家多數用嚟諷刺重視貴重嘅專業攝影器材多過攝影技巧,缺乏取材觸覺嘅攝影愛好者(量詞:個)

Examples

  • 好多龍友以為用越貴嘅器材影嘅相越靚,忽視咗構圖同時機嘅重要性。

    Many amateurs think that the more expensive the equipment is, the better the photo, overlooking the importance of composition and timing.

  • 落完場大雨之後,又有一大堆龍友衝去南山邨影倒影相。佢哋唔覺得悶㗎咩?

    After the rainstorm, amateurs again flocked to Nam Shan Estate to take photos of rain reflections. Don't they ever get bored?
