Now let's see some of those great Mavica shots, troll.

Not that you'll ever be able to outdo me. You're a trite beginner
snapshooter, always have been, always will be. Nor am I ever able to be
manipulated by some snapshooting troll's puerile online challenge. But to
help you, here's an experimental IR shot of something you might find
interesting, to try to capture in your snapshots in the future. Knowing of
this IR principle might help you with your god-awful boring snapshot
compositions. Now knowing this has certainly come in handy in many of my
marketable IR photos since this first quick test-shot. (You'll never get to
enjoy my good photography, that you can depend on.)

I noticed some very faint crepuscular rays in the sky when going to my
mailbox one day. As an experiment I wondered how IR imaging would deal with
the shafts of sunlight. I trotted back to the house an 8th of a mile down
the driveway and grabbed my P&S IR camera. I had already found that
different particulates in the atmosphere react differently with IR. For
example, the strong masking haze of dense forest-fires will obliterate
distant glacier-capped mountains from all visible-light views but IR will
see right through it as if not even there. A fun reason to have an EVF
equipped IR camera. You can compose and see the exact scene as recorded in
IR in real-time while using hand-held shutter speeds, like having x-ray
vision in the EVF through the forest-fires' dense haze. In this instance
the shafts of sunlight are heating up the water-vapor below the clouds and
making them much more visible.

Go get some worthwhile experience, snapshooting troll.

Yep, I deleted it when I realized I shouldn't be enriching their lives even
that much.

Wow, that's petty.

Petty values of others deserve petty behaviors as recompense. This is
precisely why they'll never be able to afford seeing anything enriching
from my extensive collections. They are far too bankrupt of any worthy
values for that. Any credit limit that they were also originally given by
me, for my having wrongly perceiving them as any kind of deserving humans
at one time, has also expired long ago. They've done all they can to prove
that, and still keep proving that.

What was that that Ghandi said? "An eye for an eye just makes everyone
blind?" Seems rather appropriate for a discussion about photography...

Meanwhile, using someone's poor behaivor to justify your own petty
petulance is the kind of thing one expects from a grade-schooler.

So if they're so bankrupt and undeserving, why do you bother? After
all, surely you have something better (and/or more enriching) to do with
yourself than to hang out on usenet with (and taunting) a bunch of
apparently petty losers? Another old maxim, "Judge a person by the
company they keep" also seem rather appropriate here.

And I think I'll take my own advice now, and make a yummy breakfast.
