Post #195,639 by broomberg 2/20/05 3:49:22 PM Reply	"even my wife"? Which then leads to the question: Is she normally incompetent in her endeavors, but in this rare case, she succeeded?

Post #195,646 by folkert 2/20/05 4:06:43 PM Reply	She was a... complete failure at taking GOOD snapshots with regular cameras or with the disposable or with the EXPENSIVE AF/AE cameras. taking shots that included more background with a tiny subject... when the back ground was unimportant. Or taking pictures with the sun somehow behind the subject, taking pictures through windows and expecting AF to work proper, putting here finger infront of the lense or flash... We went to the library, picked up a good Photography book written in 1990 (can't remember the name). It taught her basics and good ideals based on traditional photography. She now takes pictures for pay with it. And they have not rejected a single one. The average rate of rejection for these is typically 50% retakes required. Plus since we got the scanner/copier/printer an Epson RX600... she can now be totally electronics in submission, versus FAX. Stuff gets approved in minutes versus days. So it pays to go read a good book. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [link\|http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=134485&cid=11233230\|"Microsoft Security" is an even better oxymoron than "Miltary Intelligence"] No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source]
