Exposure settings for shooting black people

[fotoworx]

I just happened upon it. It's not the slightest bit humourous and I can't believe it wasn't deleted.

I do the same thing all the time. I get all caught up in the posts and end up replying to something 3 years old.

I did a search (can't even remember what I searched for now) and stumbled upon it.

Different folks, different strokes, I guess? He's not from America, and I am guessing he is non white African, and possibly making light of the whole race relations issue involving our culture? Heck I have no clue about damn near anything, but just take it with a grain of salt, or like my people say, sal, however, I am a white bread Mexican according to my people, and in my part of California, I have always been shunned by my people?! peace, love, respect, and photography for all nations, and all camera systems!

weird things get deleted most of the times, but eh, oh well? Also, the title you have could be offensive as well to some..."I get 'em pregnant", so with all respect to you, and anyone, please just ignore the weird comment, I think as society we are always jumping the gun, and by me saying, jumping the gun, I too will offend!

No, I took it that he's a white South African and the hidden (or not so hidden meaning was) -

Yes I'm from South Africa but this time I mean with a camera

As to mean using a camera this time instead of a gun as in the past.

That would make him pretty stupid for broadcasting that kind of behavior. I think gojira hit the nail on the head when he said the OP may be from a different culture.

What may be a harmless statement where he is from, is the type of thing that would set certain people off in this country. For example, I belonged to a international pistol forum and was banned one time for using the word crappy. It was very offensive to some members culture and I was told under no uncertain terms that my vulgarity would not be tolerated. Crappy? Go figure.

Being that POTN is pretty much an international forum we all have to be a little more understanding to other peoples customs and taboos. It aint such a big deal. I think we get way to bent, way to easily nowadays in this country. I say we pull the stick out of our butts and give this country an enema. Bring back Archie Bunker.

I find the ones that get easily offended often have no sense of humour at all.

Well it was your "joke" and no ones laughing. Maybe you need to reevaluate your material.

May be should rename the thread to Exposure settings for shooting people with dark skin tone (aka African)?

some non African have dark skin tones as well my Fijian bud is very dark as us my wife's ethnic Fijian friend I use ethnic to distinguish their racial differences by they as one is of an ancient near extinct race whom I really would love to photograph!!

I don't know about that...I do NOT get easily offended, and trust me when I say I have a great sense of humor. I didn't think anything about the title of the post, but that comment crossed a line in my mind, and I did find it offensive as well. Some things you just don't joke about, that's one of them.

Seriously?
