Some of those street artists are better and more original than the
"established" musicians.

When I lived in Marina del Rey, I often went to the Venice boardwalk, where
all sorts of interesting people can be found.

One day I saw this amazing guy, Jamey Turner:

He had me "play" one of the bass glasses with Chariots of Fire.
In real life it sounds much better.

Next up: Rita learns about motion blur, proper use of or
preventing.

Also next up: Rita learns that
<img src="http://www.geocities.com/ritaberk2008/pics/Buckets.jpg"
width="340" height="512">
is *not* a good way of producing a thumbnail, on the contrary.


Some day: Rita learns controlling highlights (the D3 just
doesn't cut it the way Rita uses it[1]) and image composition
(starting with "lowering your point of view with children and
sitting drummers is a good idea").

[1] Just look at the white buckets in the sunlight. And here I
thought the D3 had 'Active D-Lighting' ... which has to be
switched on, of course. Alternatively there's the fill-in
flash.

Ya think?

My attitude is that we can make these attention-seeking posts at least
slightly useful if we post genuine criticism...

Translation:
"I can't answer those questions as they are too embarrassing."
"I only post my bad images. If only you guys were worthy of seeing my
good stuff.."
"I *meant* to do that."
"I refuse to get into any discussion about image quality or how to
improve my imaging."

Yes, understood, Rita. I see no problems with that approach. Carry
on. As I will.

Which Rita either never understood or ignores: Zie's target
audience is obviously not found in the groups zie's posting
zir images.

What that says about Rita ... don't ask me!
Except that maybe zie's being paid 2 cents[1] by Canon to make
Nikon and or Nikon users look imbecile and antargonistic.
