This would be my problem. For me it would be a trade-off. I want the perfect picture so I'll concentrate on that and "see" it later.

The whole thing might just be my problem. Because I don't think of a photographer looking thru a viewfinder (old style-not digital) the same as I do a person viewing something on a screen thru a device. And there's really not much of a difference.

Yikes, I'm such a dinosaur.


I'm the dinosaur here. This is one of those issues that puts me in full curmudgeon mode. People walking through a museum, for instance, stopping at each famous painting just long enough to snap a picture, then moving on to the next. I wish that were illegal. I realize a ball game is different, because you can see as much or more through your viewfinder, and look at it again (and share it) later. But to me, the difference between watching with your own eyes and watching through a camera is the difference between actually being there, part of the experience, and standing apart from it, like a tourist.


If I had a way with words I'da said that^.

I used to be the videographer for my son's team's soccer games. I got very good at being able to hold the camera at the correct angle so that I didn't have to look through the viewfinder to see the action, or at worst I was splitting my vision. So it can be done, I guess.

Not that I'm not guilty of it but the museum thing is different. They're easily googleable pictures that your photo adds nothing personal to, unless you're taking it with someone else in the picture.

but then again, it take about half a second of energy or thought to snap a picture. That person is not not looking at the art because he took a picture of it. He's not looking at it AND he took a picture of it.

I'm realllly irritated by these Viagra commercials with the British escort telling her potential clients that they need to take the little blue pill if they're going to score with HER.

That's odd. I didn't need it.
Oh, she wasn't that good.
