I didn't want to cause you so much stress, certainly in your dreams. :-( And certainly not in the middle of Times Square! :-) The bottom-line of all this has been discussed behind the scenes in greater depth and it really comes down to "ALL ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY!" And not how to use an iphone/cellphone or any other electronic gadget of similar name of the day. It's really all about "when using one of these machines in ... HOW TO, "TAKE GOOD PICTURES WITH THEM !" Rather than just snap & grab wrong lighting and or whatever things a rookie might do with absolutely no idea of good, bad or ugly photography? Actually it could be considered similarly to a well healed rookie who bought a "LEICA S2 or M9!" But with no knowledge of what aspects make interesting photographs. So we are looking at teaching a "PHONE USING PERSON" WHAT MAKES INTERESTING PHOTOGRAPHS! WITH AN IPHONE OR OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CAPTURING IMAGES. That is in the world of today and these amazing new gadgets of capturing abilities. I suppose, Using a, "PHONE-CAMERA. -- Basic photography! Good, bad and ugly!" could be the title? Compared to what we as photographers would consider a .... "real camera!" LEICA OR OTHERWISE IN THE SENSE OF "REAL CAMERAS?" My part in this was / is to see just what can be done with these new machines, if and when someone has a knowledge of photography first. And what can be accomplished with an "iphone-whatever you wish to call them? However with a good back ground in photography?" We just wanted to start out with the best "phone-camera" prospect possible and have a bit of an edge for quality of photo results. And that was the bottomline to the earlier request. Sorry I didn't mean to give you bad dreams! :-) And I do trust I have explained this situation somewhat clearer? Now don't go near Times Square before you take two pills and call me in the morning! :-) cheers, Dr. ted :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Rabiner" <mark at rabinergroup.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2012 7:36 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] TECHNICAL QUESTION????????? > The have alarm clocks which project the time on the ceiling for you. > Really > I'm not kidding! > I bet they could project other things as well. > Perhaps a slide show recap of the dreams you'd had that night? > I'd love that I can rarely remember any of them. > > Mark William Rabiner > Photography > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ > > >> From: Jefffery Smith <jsmith342 at gmail.com> >> Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >> Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2012 21:05:26 -0500 >> To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >> Subject: Re: [Leica] TECHNICAL QUESTION????????? >> >> I would rather have an alarm cock/camera.
