When I first stumbled upon this site last November, I had no idea what f-stops, SLRs, and NeatImage were, yet I was hooked from day one. I picked up a G1 and I’ve been shooting practically non-stop ever since. Over the last three months I’ve learned an incredible amount from participating in Challenges and reading Forum discussions, and I’d like to say THANKS! to everyone who has, albeit unknowingly, helped me along the way.
All that said, I think many people take this site way too seriously. To me, this site is two things: 1) a learning tool and 2) fun. When it stops being either and becomes all about the score, I think it’ll be time to move on. Don’t get me wrong, it will be sweet to finally break the 6.0 barrier, but I enjoy the process of creating a personally appealing shot and, in the end, that’s what matters even if I score a 3.5.
IMHO (yeah, DPC taught me that too!) we should stop obsessing about scores and focus on the pictures we haven’t taken yet. Happy shooting!! And thanks again!
