I hate using LCDs as viewfinders. Most people have difficulty with them, so they make family get-togethers more aggravating. Who hasn't waited while their aunt or uncle try to find everybody in that little screen, when they could just look through the stupid camera?
I futz with my camera much more than any aunt or uncle at a family picnic, so I don't make anybody pose. I like candid photos much, much better. |
Paul/Phil some confusion here but all valid and no problem.
I have come back mainly to compliment in regard to the photos published here. They all have real appeal, as well as having technical features. I love the child framed with the hand rail, but not in exclusion of others.
I agree that an LCD screen is a pain and no match for a proper SLR which gives all the required information in one visual message. Photography frustrated me until I obtained an SLR which brings everything logically into FOCUS
Excellent worthy thread.
