OK, if we want to stretch this out, how about another thread hijack?
I'll try to get the fires burning again....
Let's see... how about the difference between snapshots and photographs???
Bad snapshots – not sure what we’re looking at.
Snapshots – getting the subject into the picture.
Good snapshots – getting the subject into the picture in focus and recognizable.
Great snapshots – getting the subject to be well exposed and clearly visible.
Bad photographs – Not sure why this thing exists.
Photographs – Hmm. I think I see what the photographer’s trying to do.
Good photographs –don’t know the people/place/thing, but this is interesting.
Great photographs – Wow – never saw that (subject) in that way before. Makes me want to (love/hate/know more/emulate/avoid) it. It (excites/irritates the crap outa me/inspires/disgusts) me.
How do you recognize an image as a snapshot or a photograph?
Snapshot:
- Usually taken at a height of 5’ to 6’
- Almost always landscape orientation
- Always hand-held
- Little or no thought about the background or surroundings
- Little effort to manage or control light
- No effort of using selective focus, depth of field, or shutter speed
- Usually takes no more than 1-5 seconds of preparation before shooting
- You had to be there to know the significance of the shot
Photograph:
- Position of camera chosen to highlight some aspect of subject
- Subject is placed so that there is clear separation between it and the foreground/background, OR the link between foreground/background to the subject is material and supporting to subject focus
- Distractions of foreground/background are minimized
- Image often taken on a tripod
- Light is managed to highlight the subject or create the mood
- Focus point and depth of field are used to direct viewer attention and eye flow
- You “get” the image even if you weren’t there.
- Preparation can take days or weeks.
- You can create a narrative from the image, or imagine a story.
- Often makes you want to say – I wish I took that shot, or knew how to do that.
Oh, and to piss off some people... Snapshots are almost never art, but photographs can and do...

So, when are you going to let go of your baby camera and upgrade to the S2? (gripped, of course). :er:
I saw one in action a few months ago, and the image quality made the full-frame sensor cameras look like Point-and-shoot...

I would LOVE one... but too rich for me...
I'm just a regular joe with a regular job... takes a long time and effort to buy Leica stuff.
Buying a few expensive things... ok
Buying many inexpensive things... ok
Buying many expensive things... not ok.
I fall into the first category.. usually in cash. Local Leica dealer has already sold 4 and 1 on display was offered for me to play with for a few minutes (i'm a good customer) OMG... I actually considered ebay'ing my wife and son... lol I've been saving for an M9 since it was announced... got a long way to go.
Still Lovin the M8. In fact, its already packed along with an Olympus E-PL1 w/ Leica and Takumar glass for a fun trip to Maine starting on Monday.

Bad snapshots not sure what planet it was taken on.
Snapshots getting the subject into the frame.
Good snapshots cute girl in the background.
Great snapshots cute girl in the background flashing the camera.
Bad photographs Great subject with an ugly guy in the background.
Photographs Hmm. It makes sense, is in focus and with a proper exposure. (how the heck did He manage that?)
Good photographs In focus, proper exposure, good lighting and cute girl in a bikini.
Great photographs See above minus the bikini.

-Little or no thought in their brain.
-Little effort to control the camera only the beer.
-No effort tofocus,
-Usually takes no more than 1-5 minutes of preparation before shooting
-You had to be there to know what the hell the shot was of
Photograph:
-Position of camera chosen to highlight some aspect of subjects body.
-Subject is placed so that there is clear separation between it and the shocked people in the background OR the link between the people to the subject is material and supporting to subject focus
-Distractions of foreground/background are all girls
-Image often taken on a tripod
-Light is managed to create the mood
-Focus point and depth of field are used to direct viewer attention and eye flow right to the ..... well you know
-You get excited by the image even if you werent there.
-Preparation can take days or weeks.
-You can create a fantasy from the image, or imagine a story.
-Often makes you want to say I wish I had a cigarette.
Oh, and to piss off some people... Snapshots are almost never art, but they can be porn...
