JBSF, I agree with you 100%. The site is useful to a relative beginner like me but hard to stomach and since it's not "that" useful, I plan to abandon the somewhat time wasting activity.
It gets boring looking at the same old pelican shots being pixel peeped and hearing about beach shooting and shifting the tripod a few degrees, which of course does nothing for me traipsing around in the bush hand-held trying to sneak up on a wary subject. Ari is a better fit for me if I'm so inclined.
Now there will be even more pixel peeping and advice to crop a photo 70%. I guess a pelican head with the eye cropped out counts as art; I'm surely no art expert, but it doesn't do much for me as a bird lover!
There is honesty in some of it though, for example: "... and I are head over heels in love with the D-850 image files". As a previous poster mentioned there is nothing like the lovey-dovey effect! Now I must un-check this thread.
