OMG, my problems have been solved! I need a camera that has the "A" button on it! I must have the older version of a digital camera, it only has Av?!

I'm just going to be able to take such fantastic pictures now! Like a real pro!

That is obviously an intentional dig at people who buy a digital camera and assume they are "pro" because they can shoot low DOF, and blur everything to an incomprehensible mess on every shot just because they can. Love the sample photos in the article!

Edit: mockery. That's the word I was looking for.

I think he has a little posterization going on with the cloud shot though.

OH man, read the "Simon's pie chart" entry at the top of the post list. Haven't laughed that hard in a while. Reminded me a lot of the "should I give my pictures away for free" threads that come up around here.
