Im having that problem right now, Wondering if its just me.

i get that problem ... i usually use one eye when looking through the view finder ... then when i'm done taking the pic(s) my eyes get blurry, really blurry ...

i remember my chemistry teacher in HS always told me, "when you use a microscope, don't close 1 eye... cover 1 eye with your hand" ... closing one eye will cause blurriness & give you a headache, opposed to covering it which gives the same affect ... point proven when taking pics

No headaches, but my eyes do get a little blurry sometimes after using the camera for a while.

lol, i got a kick out of it though. Cause I didnt say anything about camera's, and now if i read it again.. And think outside of what i was saying.. I picture someone walking around with a closed eye just cause they dont feel like using it.

I messed around with a D300 today and I hated it. I'm sure it would be much cooler if I could atleast navigate my way around it. I also messed with the 5D and the 40D and loved the 5D. Although I really wanted to see the quality of 3200 ISO, I couldn't figure out how to get it past 1600. That was very irritating. But I really like full frame right now.

[coolpixer]

hey everyone post up what size pictures you like to see here.

800x600?

more towards 1024 pixels wide?

or bigger for those have lcd widescreens?

[Parkerman]

On TPF they want it at 600X800, so thats what i set photobucket to resize to when i upload them.


*edit*
Also, I've got a question for everyone, Generally what is your thought process when trying to capture a shot?

Or, if you see something quick that you want a picture of... What do you do?
