lol way2fake exif

the borkeh gives it away
>> david morris
What the hell is a borkeh? Nothing fake about this shot bro. I can assure you I do NOT roll that way.

that's an impossible shot for that camera

I love it when someone who doesn't know what they're talking about tells someone else to "lrn2" whatever.

Lol, sup guys, I need to lrn2color theory because Anonymous doesn't like the way two colors look together, even though they're complimentary colors and a by the book example of color theory.

That's not even very shallow dof, I don't get what you're ranting about. The out-of-focus branches are obviously a good distance behind the bird. Even the tiny p&s camera can keep that OOF at 4.0

Yes, learn to sensor physics, indeed.

hehe, doesn't surprise me one bit when sage and DC have no idea what they're talking about, yet always feel compelled to post

look at the shape of the fucking out of focus highlights, there is no point-and-shoot camera that draws them that way, but you guys would know that right? with your extensive photography experience. lol
>> david morris
Well you guys can argue it among yourselves, I can assure you a point and shoot took this shot. Only a small amount of contrast and brightness enhancement. I have been shooting as a amateur for 30 years and have never heard such BS. It is what it is, a good shot of a beautiful bird..

It's at 72mm, i.e. 432mm equivalent. It does draw it that way at such a long focal length.

You know how I know? I used to own that exact camera.

Game, set, match, etc.

What the FUCK are you talking about?
>> M?e?e?s?e??? !iZn5BCIpug
I have a BS in Astro-physics and I have spent over 10 years in the sensor industry and I can assure you sensors do not work this way.

You're right, a Canon S2 doesn't "draw them that way", even though a quick Flickr search proved you wrong.

"But it doesn't drawww them like that, bawww!!", right?

I like how people always rag on point and shoots constantly but can't even tell if a photo was taken with an SLR or point and shoot. In a resized format, there is very little image quality difference between the two. Only when depth of field (for small focal lengths) and low light comes into play is it easy to tell the difference.

My biggest problem with P&S cameras has always been the manual control of them. Too many awkward menus. That and the whole LCD thing.

Not that its really their fault, they're not really designed to be used manually.

There is no good reason to use them manually though. The aperture hardly effects anything other than the time it takes to expose (from my tests). But it's true that their manual focusing leave a bit to be desired. For manual control, I like the design of the G series. I'd love an ISO dial and scroll wheel on the next Digital Rebel.
