Just to see where my and its limits lie. But it requires knowing how IS works, its limitations, using the proper IS setting, and having exceptional handheld skills to begin with. In your image you're not so skilled, nor even lucky. Everything illuminated by available light is blurred. Only those features stopped by the higher speed of the fill-flash burst are clearer. Not to mention the focus is off, the camera focused on the oven behind the randomly placed, badly tilted, and aroused dog. Is your spatial acuity and motor-control so poor that you can't even tell when you are holding a camera level? Apparently so. You're not going to make a very good blind person. You'll even suck at that. LOL! |

You'll find that it's a bit tricky with no visual cues to orient yourself... Besides, I'm a blind photographer, my pics should look the part, should they not? This is what you'll never understand. I'm not after traditional pics; I'm after pics that depict the world as a blind photographer interacts with it. What else could it be? You don't even know how to interact properly with the sighted world as a sighted person, so I guess I should not be surprised... Take Care, Dudley |

I must admit, I'd love to have coffee with you some day, just to hear if there's a sneer or a snicker as you let loose your vitriol... Take Care, Dudley |

You disrespect the world by spamming and scamming everyone with your poor-pitiful-me carnival side-show act. You're also very adept at misrepresenting what others say... I never claimed to have the talent of Da Vinci... I just said it is conceivable that a blind photographer could equal or exceed Da Vinci in talent, yet not produce as visually pleasing works. That simply means that the level of skill it takes for the blind person to produce even a visually mediocre picture is quite extensive... Only somebody as bigoted as yourself would misconstrue that as claiming to produce works that are the equal of Da Vinci's, especially when only test pics are being posted in an attempt to gain feedback and foster progress... I don't care if you respect me or not, couldn't care less. And, once again, you side-stepped the question. The question is why do you critique photography when you clearly have no appreciation for the beauty others produce? Not mine, not any of the other sighted members of the group. You simply insult. That doesn't say much about your character... Take Care, Dudley |

There seem to be at least one or two of these trolls on every Newsgroup, Dudley, and they're generally people whose real lives are so unfulfilling that they can only pump up their own sad little egos by attacking people who are happier and more talented than they are. Everybody but the troll knows this -and he no doubt knows it too, deep inside- but for him it's the verbal equivalant of public masturbation, and admitting the truth would be an act of self- castration: giving up his only form of emotional pleasure. We really should feel sorry for the poor little thing; particularly because of the contrast between you two: you're an outstanding example of someone who refuses to be defined by his limitations, and he's someone who's completely helpless in the face of his. Are you done feeling better about yourself by doing exactly what you claim others do? Project much? ****in' easily manipulated hypocrite morons, all. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

We really should feel sorry for the poor little thing; particularly because of the contrast between you two: you're an outstanding example of someone who refuses to be defined by his limitations, and he's someone who's completely helpless in the face of his. Socially, I feel quite sorry for him, most of the time, though sometimes I think he just has a weird sense of humour ... He wouldn't be the first grump I've met who really has a heart of gold. Still, I like to keep him / her talking as it gives me some good feedback. In this case, once the crap is sifted, I've figured out I still need to work on focus (with the SX120) -- which surprises me a bit for that picture. I thought Mich was front and center enough to pretty much cover the central focus points, but LOL noted the focus was on the stove behind, though there can't have been much of a problem with the focus on Mich given the f/8 the pic was shot at and the wide depth of field of most point and shoots. True, I can actually get a bit of a blurred background in macro shots, but I didn't think there'd be much trouble with blurry foregrounds. Perhaps Mich's fur through off the AF enough for it to look further in the room for something it could get sharp. I'll have to play around with that a bit more. LOL was also ranting about the slanted stove, but I think that was more a product of the angle I was positioned. I was shooting diagonally across the room because of a table to my right, so, even if the camera was level, the stove and cupboards would have photographed at an angle, sloping up from left to right (if my mental image of the scene is correct). I really wasn't too concerned about the background. I was just practicing getting the subject framed fairly centrally. I would get Mich sitting beside me; then I'd take two steps forward, turn 180 degrees, and take a shot with the camera positioned about waste height. If I got the turn just right and held the camera fairly straight, I'd get Mich pretty decently framed. It's kind of muscle memory training. If I do it enough, it becomes routine when I get him in a better setting. And, it never fails at 35mm, or something pretty close. If I use the XSi, with the 28mm lens, it's only about 1 1/2 step, and I have to hold the camera a bit lower. It's one of the routine shots I like to do, and it works with anything about the size of Mich sitting pretty... Anyway, LOL's a double edged sword. I don't want to puff up his ego, but he does have a keen eye, and I appreciate whatever he points out. It's just too bad he can't tone it down, ever so slightly... Take Care, Dudley |
