Really tired of the association between "Canadian" and "polite." Canadian men are terrible at taking pictures of their dicks too, and they share those pics incessantly. Don't let some of them read this and then think to themselves, "I'm polite about my grainy, unfocused, dick pics even if I don't always ask, because I'm Canadian."
It really is rude to compose shots so poorly.
It's like they've never bothered to learn to crank that F-stop while increasing the exposure to get that shallow depth of field. It gives an illusion of depth.
I like to use a 60mm prime lens on an MFT to give it a crop-factor equivalent of 120mm.
And go with a snooted strobe to get that shadow detail. Ring flashes are lazy and have no chatacter.
See, I get you're joking, but I'm not clear if it's because you're a hobbyist who saw an opportunity to info dump a bit for hyperbole, or if you're using that hyperbole to suggest that it is an unrealistic expectation for dick pics to look sexy in any way possible (rather than just a dimly lit, unclear shot of someone's unmaintained and unwashed patchy pubes and greasy dick)
The real joke for the shutterbugs was the 60mm lens on the micro four-thirds camera.
It's for macro photography. Sample (safe) picture from the lens using the end of a ballpoint pen:
I highly doubt anyone is taking this seriously.
Of course not, that's why it's a problem. Don't act like you are unaware of the conception I'm talking about. I'm saying that the fact that it can be evoked and accepted so easily is a problem given that Canadians are hardly more polite than anyone else, and many if not most of them are bigoted in some major way.
