I just had a quick look (yes, I'm bored). And yes, it appears that all
his other posts are crap too.

FWIW, tho, I have an Oly C8080. Brilliant lens. Superb image quality,
providing you shoot at lowish ISOs, which I do. But some pretty dam
stupid programming though - like if you pick some functions while
viewing thru the EVF, it just decides to go to the LCD screen... )O:
Sheeesh, did they have unsupervised apprentices writing their
firmware???

Yes.
All digital is crap.
Shots like this are crap:
http://www.pbase.com/markuson/image/39564454
Especially when you see the 100% crop:
http://www.pbase.com/markuson/image/39564455

Total...utter...crap.
Heck, here's a WHOLE FOLDER of crappy Digital snaps...
http://www.pbase.com/markuson/maui_2004

Though OCCASIONALLY...one CAN take a decent DIGITAL shot that IS NOT CRAP...like this one:
http://www.pbase.com/markuson/image/36368962

Yeah, they sure are crap. It's a good thing we have crap like that
around so that we can see how good film is.

I left a comment on your photo of the six man canoes, it is a classic.
The position of the paddlers is perfect, right at the beginning of the
stroke. You should be very happy with this photo. =20

Thanks, Scott.
That was the ONLY shot I took, and it was hand-held... -A little off-level as you say...
I was stopping to look at the pretty sun-set and those two canoes raced by right on
cue--the only canoes on the water.
Serendipity!

Mark if you are So inclined there is a web site that has photos of
outrigger canoes, I have not seen one just like yours on the site. I
am sure it would be a welcome addition.
http://www.ocpaddler.com/gallery.html
It would be the Community Photo Gallery that it would go in.

Are you a paddler?
