I have read several of his columns (gust that makes me a liberal) and I have found them to be generally better written than the one on sensor size, explaining complex things so many can understand. Although I don't care for this particular effort, where he takes a stand on something that really hasn't been that much of an issue, his reviews are generally better written than most. Perhaps the fact that as a journalist working for such a prestigious newspaper he is presumed to have at the very least graduated from an accredited institution of higher learning, where most reviewers/bloggers have generally completed fifth grade English. His comments are generally insightful. I guess when you throw as much against the wall as Pogue, some things will fail to stick. -----Original Message----- From: Geoff Hopkinson Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 2:57 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Bokeh Schmokeh?. Mr Pogue is apprently a technology blogger rather than a photographer? But he has reviewed "hundreds of cameras". He doesn't enhance his qualifications/credibility being "confident" that he is right and quoting Google and YouTube in his reply to those cantankerous on-line photographers. *If you want to take more interesting pictures, stand in front of more interesting stuff* -- Joe McNally Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 28 February 2013 05:26, Steve Barbour <steve.barbour at gmail.com> wrote: > OK, so call it out of focus blurring..... > > > > http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/21/blurry-backgrounds-big-sensors-and-bokeh/?ref=personaltechemail&nl=technology&emc=edit_ct_20130221 > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
