    It's become quite clear that the general structure of tardedness can be boiled down to this:

    "You're such a [SomethingIDon'tOwnAndMustThereforeBeInferior]tard."

    More like "You're such a [IDon'tGetTheBigDealAboutThisProductAndIDon'tCareAnyways]tard".

    I wouldn't say the camera (whatever it is) is inferior, simply because I don't and I really don't care.

    Clearly we must engage in lengthy and convoluted discourse on the precise and definitive prefix required to condense the structure of tardedness.

    Re: Photographography

    Your assessment of the nature of tardedness is incorrect. There are disputable and indisputable tardednesses. For example, being a Mactard is indisputable and irrecoverable. Being a d40tard is disputable and recoverable. Being an ubuntard is questionable.

    Try something a little older than the urban dictionary. Every word on that sight has at least one definition that is either pornographic or anatomically incorrect.

    Once, for example, I forgot what the name was for the object known as a "tripod". So I just searched for "three legs" in Google. You DON'T want to try it...

    In my line of work, we have people who not only swear constantly (as is the norm) but also write down what they said and then discuss it incessantly. We call them custards.

    Don't mind MM, he's getting angry because he's getting old and is realizing that he doesn't have a D40, more like a D0. I guess you could call him a d0tard.

    Thanks dude

    There will be a whole bunch more when my new ISP get's me connected.

    I went to Kedleston Hall at the weekend and took about 125 photos, I'll be uploading about 16 of them (eg the best ones) as soon as I can.

    Re: Photographography

    I did what I think you are doing (and I still do it) - take hundreds of photos, upload a few. I think that's a good strategy because

    a) It's a digital camera, you can view and delete
    b) If you take a large number of photos, the chance of finding good photos increases statistically, as you've seen above.
    c) I have one which I'll upload tomorrow which was an in-the-moment thing, same principle (take lots, one good). I think you'll like it. You might even lick your screen.

    As promised... well, not promised, but mentioned. I guess this one takes on the same principle - taking lots of photos will get you a few good ones:

    Re: Photographography

    I bought myself a tripod last night

    £92 for basically a few bits of aluminium.

    It's amazing what a difference it makes. Last night (1am) I was outside on the patio taking photos of the Moon and some stars.

    I put the shutter on a very long (20-30 seconds) setting and pointed it at a bright star, zoomed right in and click.

    The photo was - at first glance - blurred, but then I realised that the focus was perfect. The stars were streaked slightly because the earth was rotating during the long exposure!!! Science in action . I tried replicating that same shot without the tripod and the result was not pretty.

    I therefore conclude that the earth is a torus shape.
    I don't live here any more.
