I was letting an attempt at humour get the better of me, and I'm afraid I came off looking elitist and snobbish. As much as I "work" to improve at my favourite hobby, my sister is the opposite. She takes out her modest manual SLR with standard 50mm about once every year or two when she travels. Yet, she consistently blows me out of the water. Her last trip to Egypt, her camera broke down, so she bought a disposable, and took this shot: http://www.urbancaravan.com/images/caravan.jpg Again, Dave, thanks for taking me down a notch - it was well deserved. cheers, frank David C Mason wrote: > On Sunday, July 20, 2003, at 10:17 PM, frank theriault wrote: > > > But if you're not, I'm happy to let wannabe "artistes" buy b&w > > disposables at > > Walmart, and then wonder why their prints suck.
