Watch the Olympic opening sequence to see how many morons think a puny
on camera flash can illuminate an olympic stadium at night time.

They have no idea how the flash works, and no idea how to turn it off
anyway. Their camera is always set to auto, and simply fires the flash
in such circumstances, because it has no idea either.
Still remember the moon landings where millions of pictures of blank TV
sets were processed in the following weeks. The flash exposing the
cabinet just fine :-)
At least the morons get to see their mistakes immediately now, knowing
what (and how) to change is entirely another matter though!
And I can't count the number of times I've helped people with expensive
DSLR's that have no idea how to change even the most basic settings!
Their comment is always the same, "must read the manual one day". They
never do :-(

I've seen a lot of them taking flash photos of fireworks. That's double
stupidity.
