I don't always agree that one should always do a search first, as new members and they may have different answers to the same questions.
 
... the last word. Darn. I guess one can at least try, right? ;)

Oh, believe me, I do realize what's going on. But thanks for explaining anyway. One can never know with the blondes, I understand. :)

Cheers! :)

P.S.: There are - as far as I see it - at least three typos in your last post. Just in case it still matters to you. :)

Right. Of course. Duh!

Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me...

I never gave a damn about the meter man until I was the man who had to read the meters.
 
....do your best to spoil for a fight; misdirect the issue at hand; & steer the thread away from the OP (should I pat your head for that?)

After all this thread is about the original post, you know. Not just about you :)

See? I too can play your "snide comments masked in smileys" game : )

That's exactly why I've spent some time playing with you......you must have missed that as a child ; )

Seriously, I'm glad I brought your attention to that crass "pill" thing; so many people spit it out (pun intended) even though they KNOW it's offensive......now that is crass behavior.....

Have a great day!

Hi, I just have to put my 2 cents in here for what it's worth...

I often hear people here say that they use RAW for landscapes, macros, wildlife and other artsy photos and use Jpg for family snapshots. The implication being that family photos are less important than those other photos...

Same with lenses, they use the cheap glass for family snaps and save the good expensive lenses for landscapes etc...

I don't know about anyone else but my family and pet photos are the most important photos I take. (My wife is more important than a tree in a field) so I use the best file format and the best lenses for my family photos....

Glad I got that off my chest...

FINE PRINT: I reserve the right to be wrong. Should you prove me wrong, I reserve the right to change my mind.
 
OK --- shall we start all over again? ... Ken Rockwell is an idiot/ genius? D40 vs D80 vs D60? VR or no VR? your favourite lens is ... list 25 reasons. Or would care to help? "I am a newbie: where is the green auto shoot on my just one day old D300?"

We have all been guilty of running off at the fingers ... without the idle chatter this forum would not exist. Occasionally there are excellent photographs and really interesting techniques/ styles or discussions that reveal something worth noting ... rest of the time it is normal human intercourse ... sooooooo much noise to see who's who in the zoo.

This is the best chat yet.
 
Yes , eveything is worth shooting with the Best lenses, Raw , etc...
but it's always boring to see so many topics with a title like :
"Dreams of the Ocean" "The Golden Treasure" "My 1200$ 70-200 2.8 Rocks",

then, open the thread and discover bad cropped, out of focus, dull, 1200$ lenses shots with POPUP FLASH !!!

I think there should maybe be a Forum for people who like to share different types of photographies... (pet-flower-family. Street photography & landscape. Studio-portaits. Experimental photography & macro.) but I am pretty sure, that , if it was the case, a lot of people would "share" their "pet & Family pics" inside every single forum to show it ...

I have myself a wonderful dog, but I dont want to show him or my family everytime, to every one...
 
That's fantastic, Bob, but it's also not the point. The point is that people post those pics on here - they are easy to shoot and simple to get right. No one really cares, Bob, truly, about your cat or family pictures other than you, your cat, and your family. Use whatever glass you want for the pictures, but please have something interesting to post using said glass as well. That's the point.

I am also bored of those posters who "UP" themselfs manymany times their threads by answering to everyone at each answer, and sometimes even to themselves !!!

I can imagine that some people here dont have a life or a Work, maybe dont have any friends at all and stay the whole day at home. but even then, what Stops them from going Outside & take some really interesting shots, ore some inside real experimental shots & not simply turn the head from the computer or the kitchen & shoot the first flower pot or pet that stays next to them. I call that TEST shots, too test if a lens, flash, hood, etc... is doing well...

If Dpreview is a comunity , this is not my place anymore... and not the place of a lot of new people who just want to know technical things and sometimes be totally Amazed by excellent pictures some people share. (the best of the best you have in your photo-files)
 
--Since everybody's venting here I might as well get this off my chest. I loathe the corn-ball adolescent expressions - such-and-such "rules", or something "rocks".

And just for the record, I make many photos with the cameras set on "Auto", which works just fine. And with the troublesome D80, much of the time, auto is better than the other more "sophisticated" settings. Under some circumstances "Auto" actually makes better skies! And it certainly makes better people shots. There. I've 'fessed up!

Oh. One more thing. I don't think it makes a bit of difference in the final print whether you shoot in RAW or JPEG, so do what pleases and ignore the purists. I'm sure we've all turned out some wonderful photos with settings that seemed to guarantee failure.

You, sir, have just talked yourself out of the chance to see the 320 identical full-sized RAWs of my big toe that I took to test the speed of my new SDHC card. . .
