Default Re: Photography Thread

Well, Shark, anyone who knows me from here knows I am an a55hole, so I guess I can't know how or who or what.
All I could possibly recall is telling what I imagine was a high school girl how she could better balance her camera
so her pics had less noise. She said in her comments that she wanted to shoot portraits for money for friends at school
and maybe others. But she was shooting entire series of people in 3200 ISO with a 1/2500 of a second shutter speed
and f/11 on a entry level Canon DSLR. I was giving her (unsolicited) advice on how to set things for cleaner pics and a more
portrait-like effect. MAYBE that was it, maybe she felt like she was being harassed. She certainly never asked for advice.
I did it in the mail function so no one had to see me telling her that stuff. She never commented back so it could
have gone either way for all I know. Maybe she complained of harassment. She never said anything to me, so who knows.
I can say without a doubt that it couldn't have been anyone else. That's the only time I ever came close to saying anything
remotely un-called for. They simply quoted from the user agreement the two sections I had supposedly violated. I sent them
an email telling them that it would be more useful if they tried to be more specific about what I had supposedly done. The
message had as part of the title a 'case number', so it was somebody saying something. But it really doesn't matter. I am not
interested in participating in Flickr going forward. Its a useful tool, but I no longer feel like it was for me.
