People who shoot photos with their lens hood on backwards

Holmes was more into Opium than crack.

We'd have to ask Watson if Holmes liked crack.

More importantly though, how did he use a lens hood?

I do hope you are not indulging in smut there Caruthers.

Magnifying glasses don't take hoods. If he had indulged in photography, in those days the hood would not have been on the lens but would be a cloth over the head of the photographer at the back of the camera. Holmes was probably a bit early for that though.

There should be a warning on this post. "Warning flash photography" for those who suffer from epilepsy. Excuse me I need to sit down for a bit.

Oops, I'll add a spoiler. That wouldn't happen with a camera phone

If you don't know you don't need one. You might put it on backwards and look at the trouble that causes,

You are taking this very literary.

Of course not; Watson was his doctor.

I think it's absolutely wonderful that we have so many accessible methods for photography these days. When Messrs Kodak and Polaroid (yes, I know) made their respective inventions that allowed families to easily take lots of photographs of holidays and birthdays and their new fancy rug to send to Aunt Mavis in Australia I wonder if they could guess at just how it would grow.

Hard to mount your phone on a tripod, though.

£2.89 does the job.
next stupid point please.

We already did this. Amazingly that girl with the tablet looks just like the girl I was describing. Johnny Come Lately3 you can't wander into a thread late and re-visit topics we have already covered.

Amen to that.

This looks interesting. 50mp photos from a 13mp sensor. It's not dSLR quality ( ), but the 100% crop samples look fairly decent

And right on cue:

The latest issue of large format arts and fashion magazine Centrefold features some striking photography shot using Nokia Lumia smartphones.

Centrefold is a bi-annual title launched by photographer Andrew Hobbs. For its tenth issue showcasing emerging photographic and modelling talent, the magazine teamed up with Nokia and commissioned nine photographers to conduct shoots using the Lumia 1020.

I have recently found that photography with my iPhone runs the battery down quite quickly.

re lens hoods putting a shadow on the bottom of images, if you have a large diameter lens / hood (some of mine are 77mm) and use the on board flash there is a risk of that. I use an external Sunpak (tilt and swivel), a lot higher and never get this issue.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

Weltweit what are you on about?

I was messing with my camera last week, taking pictures of some stuff I'm selling, and I accidentally pressed a button and a little flash popped up. I'd forgotten the camera had an onboard flash..

What's pedobear got to do with anything ?

I rarely accuse anyone of being a troll but in the absence of any proof that Bungle is clinically insane, or has an IQ comparable to that of a gherkin...

Some gherkins are able to take better photographs than...ok, er, maybe not.
