Focusing in dark places?

[Kerbouchard]

....... I typed out that specific scenario in response to a suggestion to just shoot at the hyperfocal distance at around f/8. I didn't think that would work too well under the conditions the OP had mentioned. That was why I brought it up.

As I read the OP's initial thoughts, it was all about focusing in a dimly lit scene. Exactly how does your suggestion to set hyperfocal distances at f/8 improve his chances to acheive focus? He can't see sh!t. First off, he/she need to hit a demarcation printed on the lens. Without some source of illumination, this will be very difficult. Without some light source, he/she will not be able to see the dials on the lens in order to acheive said hyberfocal distance. Hmmm, I know, a pen light just might do the trick. In my case, a pair of reading glasses to boot.

......If you need a flash light for your focus module to lock on, you are pretty much beyond your camera's capabilities, at least without flash.........

But not the photographers McGiver skills. In most cases, there is always a work around.

It wasn't my suggestion to shoot at the hyperfocal distances at f/8. It was 480sparky's. Everything I posted was in disagreement with that suggestion. You are arguing with me for no reason. I agree it is a bad suggestion. That was my point. I'm not sure why you seem to be confused about this. Maybe you should sober up or get some rest before you decide to respond again to this thread. You are completely out of line.

Does that self-diagnosed conclusion make you feel better? Do you often undermine a posters mental capacity, that falls beneath your own heightened state of awareness, to such a level of indignation? Am I the one out of line? Such burning questions......

There are no burning questions, you assigned a position to me that I never took and then proceeded to attack it and me. It really is as simple as that. As far as why you did that, I am beyond caring. I think the OP got the info he requested and I have completely lost interest in your ramblings.

Dude, I only questioned. If my questions made you feel attacked, that was a by-product of the answers you have given and nothing more. However, never did I put into play or question, your sobriety, as you did mine. The words I choose to use and the order in which I place them should not make most individuals question another persons mental state. I assume, of course, you have been highly trained and well educated to come to such rash, yet ultimate conclusions.

"Lost interest" is an interesting term to use. Some might suggest that you have lost your will to fight. I, on the other hand, suspect that you have nothing further to intercede this conversation and rely on indifference to pass on your marks. I suggest that you lack the skills to discuss differences of opinions.

Yes, based on your comments, I did question your mental capacity. I attributed it to something temporary, like alcohol or lack of sleep. If you are still like this today, I can only assume it is not a temporary lapse in judgement and make use of the ignore button for the first time.

And with that, I am done with this off topic bickering...back to your regular scheduled programing.
