I've got a suggestion.   How about if when we open a thread and the first post contains nothing but a link, we ignore it and move on the something else.   Ooops.  I violated my own suggestion.  But at least I didn't click on the link.  :D

Ah, but you got one thing wrong. Brad: the post does contain something in addition to a link... the magical words "nsfw." It has the same power of attraction as a car crash or a lamp to moths  ;D

The NSFW wasn't there earlier today and I clicked on it. Fortunately I don't think my manager noticed the prominent Sula nebouxii picture scrolling by...

This click-bait stuff is getting comical. Not that I have clicked.

"Here is the bottom line. unless you got some screwy focus system like Fuji’s focus by wire. Or you have those terrible M43’s that you can’t adjust on the fly…don’t blame your gear…blame yourself for your shortcomings. It is not the red dot…it is YOU!

These were shot with a Fuji X and a M43. If your skilled at street (candid) photography you should be able to shoot from most any distance and bring home winners."

Maybe it's because I've been drinking... but no matter how many times I read this it just registers as contradictory drivel.

As per the thread title, I know it's me :(

Is Sula nebouxii a clever euphemism relating to the kind of bird it is?
[I had to google it, as I'm not exactly up on birds]

Surely for manager at a workplace with people were looking at non-work stuff the NSFW aspect would be secondary to the not working bit. Unless done during break times that is.

At least the OP could be consistent and post his threads in one category only, rather than spreading them like a virus throughout the board. This is getting boring...

In the end, his message is "I am the best, the rest of the world is crap".

Ok, we got it, move on please... just because DPreview did not condone to your wonderful photographic abilities with all cameras ever made, please do not infest this site.

I think the more you chastise him the happier he gets. Unless he is totally bonkers then he is winding people up. Best ignored.

If there's a local community college in your area, it likely offers an entry level photography class.

I don't understand the "Not Suitable For Wankers" comment.

Can someone explain?

You are all free to ignore threads you don't like or relate to  ;).

I would appreciate some kind of  text in the posting as well. That said I can agree on the message although I find the wording a bit harsh.

Btw; great photos.

Actually, if you look back at his work from the 1970s a bit, some of it is interesting.  I'd say he got around.

'Red Dot' refers to Leica things.  I didn't click.
