Accidentally Taking Pictures Through Clothing?

[JerryPH]

It sure must be. How do you deal with it? *I* come here to learn. How about you, mr know-it-all???

I mean... how difficult is it to use the proper part of the forum for banter? There are at least 3 other proper places this could have been placed. What does THIS have to do with the foundations of photography?

Makes me laugh.

So odd
... noticed a random ... her nipples clearly visible ... I'm talking ...

... like she had ... BOTH a ...

... have seeming xray vision? ... fluke thing? Has anyone ever had this happen before?

...

Yes. I've experienced this phenomena several times under different conditions. Tell me, were they big, brown, puffy and supple, or were they small, red and erect?

Wow.. I've come here after being turned off by two other photography forums and finding very friendly people here.. After reading about meet-ups and such, it's surprising to find a dick like you posting your angry posts here.. Perhaps you'd be happier at the Digital Photography School, where they only allow one post per day, and it can't be over 400 pixels wide or you'll get an "infraction.."

Come on, man, we're all just here to enjoy life and enjoy photography, and if someone does or posts something that you don't like just walk away, go take a hot bath or just go relax in some other way.. No need to be such a dick when this is just a hobby.. I only do this for fun-never plan to make money off of it, so my dick-tolerance is pretty low, as you can imagine..

Lighten up.

Jerry your posts come in two flavors:

Self Appointed Volunteer Forum Moderator, and Condescending "Regular Guy". I think we're seeing a bit of both here.

Amazing that you seem to know the OP's intentions better than the OP? He had a technical problem, probably an embarassing one at that, that he doesn't seem to know the answer to and would like to correct for future reference. I'm sorry that the thought of a properly exposed nipple is blush-worthy to you, but nothing in the OP's original post would suggest this is anything OTHER than a request for information. Yet here you are, AGAIN, finger waging a poster because they've somehow offended your posting sensibilities.

If the thread is so offensive, alert a mod, and move on.

Relax. The last thing we need is for individuals like Jerry to feel validated in their self-righteousness; so lets cool it on the name calling - it'll only feed the troll.

Jerry your posts come in two flavors:

I found a nice feature.

If you go to his profile page, then click on User Lists on the profile page, a little menu slides down. One of the options is to Ignore him.

I almost never use this feature in forums. But every now and then you find someone where it's almost mandatory.

If he consistently wrecks the threads for you, just dump him in your ignore list and go on with life.

Not at all. Ignoring a person is ultimately futile, as they are still free to spread their "Love and Kisses" without anyone attempting to act as a balance. Its self-defeating if the ultimate goal is to have a positive constructive forum.

Maybe Jerry can be kind of a party pooper at times, but he KNOWS his photography (technically) and equipment better than MOST of us, and for that part, I definitely value his input.

I was going to post pretty much exactly that, but you already have ... so I'll add a few more thoughts:

1 - I have no doubt the OP wanted to learn.

2 - I have no doubt the early responses were made in jest in response to a topic which begs for humor.

3 - Jerry probably was bugged by it.

4 - Whenever I see a topic I find bothersome, I just move.

5 - I value freedom of speech.

6 - Maintaining the right to discuss what I wish dictates that I must tolerate the same in others ... even when their speech involves things I prefer not to talk or hear about.

No offense, but its often threads like this and posts like this that turn those other forums (whether photography related or not) to ****s. You may have a personality conflict with someone, thats all fine and normal. We live in a world of differences. If you want to voice them, specially when it resorts to blatant name calling, I'd strongly suggest getting it off your chest via a private messages.

Leave the h8 out of the threads and thus, net drama is limited.

As amusing as the subject appears to some, TPF is not a locker room and we'd like to keep it that way. I'd also be grateful if those who feel the need to go throwing out insults at other members would 'cease and desist'.

Thank you for listening.

It's not a "kill switch."

Although Jerry offers some useful technical information, it's nothing that can't be dug up, say, by a couple searches in Google (as he often suggests) or reading a cheap magazine.

I get put off by the negativity. There are some fine photographers here, even some professionals by all definitions of the term. I get tired of reading that they should not exist. And the crap about having more business background to be a successful photographer--By who's definition of success? I've heard it many times, "It's not how you blow, but who you blow." This theory of business being more important than art pisses me off. I make my living for the most part from photography. I have and will continue to do things the way I damn well please. I also am a success many times over by my definition. Maybe I'm not the world's best, richest, biggest, fattest or best looking- but I'm fed up with the implication that I'm less than, insufficient, stupid, or weak because I do things the way I like to do them- mistakes and all.

It's just not worth picking the peanuts out of his ****. So I use the ignore option. However, sometimes it's not enough.

Warning: Take this for what it's worth- Unlike character flaws such as narcissistic behavior, where others can actually "help" through humiliation, compulsive flaws have to be recognized from within. The result is usually shunning and being outcast from the group by the group. I hate when that happens to anyone. Just something to think about. Loosen up, take photos and don't talk down to people.
