4.7 rant

[Fortytwo]

Nooo! I'm so dissapointed in you guys! The beep is THE most important thing in photography. Without it, you'll never take good pictures. It's what all the pro's use and without it you're just a useless amature tourist kind of guy. Real connaisseurs can hear by just listening to the beep which camera is used and at which settings. Without the beep, no photography...

You should have know this...

That's a <beep>ing load of <beep>ing nonsense if I've ever <beep>ing heard nonsense before!

"BEEP" - Daniel
"Well done" - Mr Miyagi

My canon flashes one of the 9 focus squares, so I don't use the beep. There are many occasions where I would be quite annoyed by beeping cameras.. or flashes too for that matter.

All this ranting just reminded me of the comment I got last week.

"What kind of camera do you have?", I was asked.
"Canon Rebel XSi.", I reply.
"Wow, it takes really nice pictures.", I was told.

so just say to them "your mouth makes nice compliments". (stolen from what the Duck)

yes, if we would just set our cameras free and not yoke them to us, the world of photography would be better off. Instead of a rangefinder camera we could have free range cameras!!!


Let's not forget those who believe that because you use PS or other program you don't know how to take really good pictures.

There are some bike owners I've heard that actually have expensive bikes but take the logos off and spray paint them black so they don't get stolen.

Funny how society is so brand based....and so many things one does/has/owns is seen as a way to compartmentalize/compare. I've always wanted to read the book "No Logo" by Naomi Klein about that exact subject.

Nice shoes, but do they always put your foot in your mouth?

I haven't read the beep comment either....People can do what they like of course, but the beep is annoying to anyone but the photographer taking the pic.....

....in the exact same way that loud ringtones and people that talk too loudly on their cellphones in public are very annoying.
