How clueless ARE P&S'rs?
"RichA" wrote in message
... I was shooting a flooded out river ravine the other day, the basin was about 175ft wide. I was shooting at 800 ISO, 1/8-1/15 sec with a 25mm lens open to f2.0, it was almost dark, near night and clouded out from the storm. Meanwhile, I see a guy with a P&S firing away at the other side of the riverbank (100ft) with his onboard flash. I was further back and I could see the previews on his screen were black. Even reading about shooting in those conditions in the manual might have given the guy a bit of a chance. I doubt very much if my surgeon, or auto mechanic, or builder, or dentist (etc. ad infinitum) are particularly good at photography either. What's your point? -- Jeff R. (I take back "dentist". She takes cool photos.) |

DanP OR .... have nothing but a keyboard in their lives and post nonsense to camera and photography newsgroups while they live in their mommies' basements while pretending to be "photographers". Ever figure out what an f/stop is yet? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! You useless non-****ing TROLL. LOL! |

DanP OR .... have nothing but a keyboard in their lives and post nonsense to camera and photography newsgroups while they live in their mommies' basements while pretending to be "photographers". He has a website with his own photos, his moon shots are impressive. And he uses his own name. Ever figure out what an f/stop is yet? It is something that I can set from f/1.8 to f/32. Is it f/2.8 to f/8 on yours? DanP But Grasshopper, that's not what I asked. Anyone can read specs from a downloaded manual. You have yet to prove you even know what an aperture is for or what it means. LOL! Go ahead, let's see Wolfgang Weasleburg try to educate you again. That was HILLARIOUS! LOL! |

The same thing you see on basketball games or baseball games...people
are shooting with their flash on which is really irrelevant at those distance. -- gracey Message origin: TRAVEL.com |
