Toronto Photography Meetup Group

No disrespect was intended by me at all. I noticed you chose NOT to include the part of my post where I CLEARLY stated I was not slighting any of the presenters.

But you chose to do the exact opposite and interpret it as a slight.

I indicated that I very much like the travel photos of a couple group members. Strangely you interpret that as a slight upon others, even though I have never seen their work - why else would I ask for a sample? I was quite clear as to why I made the request. I do have another event I am attending that night and a small sampler could have wetted my appetite and helped me decide. It is a valid question. Especially in view of previous comments like:

"I'd have trouble filling 15 minutes (without resorting to "this is the same shot as before, but with my finger accidentally in front of the lens")."

"Ironically, I'm learning how to force my P&S to do what I want."

"Especially since my travel photos were taken with my S3 (which is still pretty much a P&S!). I'm just going to make sure that I pick out my best ones and leave the blurry ones out of it"

"My point was that my point n shoot is crappy,"

"I'm not sure I was in the right mental mode when I was in Trinidad for photos"

Having never attended an event like this these comments do cause one to wonder. If I had no other event planned that night I would not have cared. READ MY POST. I wasn't sure if I wanted to drive ALL the way to Toronto and miss another event if it were to go view blurry P&S photos with thumbs in the way taken while not in the right frame of mind. So forgive me if I just wanted a small sample to help decide if I wanted to go or not. Perhaps I shouldn't have read the posts in the thread....But as I stated in my post. I understand if it is an added burden to give a sampler. But no harm in asking? Or so I thought.....

To all presenting: Enjoy your presentation. Sorry I will not be able to attend. Hope you have a great time presenting and in the socialising afterwards!! I hope none of you were offended. That was not my intention.

hi david,

thanks for organizing this. i'm really looking forward to tomorrow's event! i'll be there early and will have my photos saved in my USB to give to you.

tracy

I was thinking of just attending, but I don't see an area where the audience would sign up. Is this just for presenters?

Thanks

Oops, just finding my way around and I just found the audience area. Sorry about that.

Thanks, David, for setting this up and putting together the slideshow. I really enjoyed seeing everyone else's photos and seeing new places to visit! Great work all around!

Thanks guys! Good show tonight.

Thanks for putting it together, David!
